How much does the Unitree R1 cost?

Quick answer

5.900 $

The Unitree R1 is the world's cheapest humanoid robot: from $5,900 (39,999 yuan) in its 26-joint base version, unveiled in July 2025. It stands 1.21 meters, weighs about 25 kilos (one person can carry it) and performs real cartwheels and sprints, but it is a developer platform: it doesn't clean, cook or iron. It is real, and it is a kit, not a butler.
