Around 5.9k euros in Germany for the R1 Pro.

It's 1.23 and weights ~30kg. Even though only the R1 Edu can be in theory programmed, it can be easily modded to enable SSH and root access to deploy custom movement policies and interact with the different on-board daemons to control the movements, grab the video data, etc.

I bought a second-hand Intel DeepSense camera and plugged it on one of the spare USB ports available in the main board to have 3D sensing (even though I really need to play a bit more with it). Right now I am playing with MuJoCo for RL training of new policies, integration with VLAs like NVIDIA Isaac GR00T and integration with LLMs.

I have to say its being a wild ride, and despite the small size of the robot, I have already injured myself with it when playing with the walking policies (If you activate a policy while its hanging, it starts literally kicking and punching you...) I cannot image those owning with the bigger brother of it, the G1...

Thank you, that’s insanely cheap. I might consider getting one.

As a tip from an owner... if you are planning to play around, maybe even the robot dog (Go2) can be a good start and comes with a LIDAR preinstalled. When humanoid robots enter into zero-torque / damping mode, it's 30 kg falling to the floor. I know it might sound stupid, but I didn't realize how heavy and scary this is, at least for me, once you have it in front of you.

Put stones into a desktop PC until it weighs 30kg and drop it from 1.20 m height while its running, onto your parquet, a couple times, I guess, to know if you and whoever lives with or below you is up to robotics testing?
