Dex3-1 tactile hands for advanced manipulation

The standout feature of this configuration is the pair of Dex3-1 three-finger hands with tactile sensing. They can detect pressure in the 10 g to 2500 g range, allowing the robot to analyze object texture and safely handle fragile items such as eggs or glassware. Each hand offers 7 degrees of freedom: a thumb with 3 DoF, an index finger with 2 DoF, and a middle finger with 2 DoF. This setup delivers a natural range of motion and supports a wide variety of grasping patterns. Built-in RGB cameras also provide close-up visual feedback during gripping, which is especially useful for precision robotics and manipulation research.

31 DoF kinematics for flexible movement

The UNITREE G1-D U3 offers a total of 31 degrees of freedom across the arms, hands, waist, and lifting column. This gives the robot excellent motion flexibility and allows it to perform complex movement sequences with impressive control. The waist rotation range of ±155° on the Z axis helps the robot naturally adjust its upper body to the task at hand. Combined with the advanced arm and hand kinematics, this enables accurate grasp positioning without constantly repositioning the entire platform.

Adjustable height and extended working range

The robot features a telescopic lifting column with 500 mm of travel, allowing total height adjustment from 1260 mm to 1680 mm. The lift mechanism operates with 1 mm precision, making it easier to align the hands exactly with a tabletop, shelf, or target object. When combined with the movable waist, the system achieves a working reach of up to 2 meters, opening up more possibilities for lab work, testing environments, and advanced robotic demonstrations.

Serious computing power for AI development

At the core of the system is the NVIDIA Jetson Orin 16G high-performance module, delivering up to 100 TOPS of computing power. It is supported by a high-performance 8-core processor, making the platform ready for advanced AI algorithms and large robotic models. The G1-D U3 also supports secondary development through SDK tools and OTA updates, so you can keep improving software capabilities without modifying the hardware.

Perception system and natural interaction

The UNITREE G1-D U3 is equipped with a rich perception system that gives AI algorithms a detailed understanding of both the environment and object interaction. A binocular HD camera in the head supports spatial awareness, while two HD wrist cameras help with precision manipulation. Additional RGB cameras integrated into each hand allow the robot to monitor the contact point from extremely close range. The system is completed by a 4-microphone array and a 5 W speaker, enabling two-way voice communication and more natural human-robot interaction.

Replaceable battery and wired operation

The robot is powered by a 9000 mAh battery that provides up to around 2 hours of runtime on a single charge. A quick-release battery system helps minimize downtime and makes the platform easier to prepare for continued work. For long sessions such as testing, research, or technology demos, the G1-D U3 can also operate using wired power.

Built for ambitious robotics projects

The UNITREE G1-D U3 is made for scenarios where precise manipulation, tactile sensing, and strong onboard computing matter most. It is a great fit for Embodied AI research, advanced home-assistance concepts, precision sorting, and laboratory workflows where gentle handling, force control, and tactile feedback are essential. This is more than a robot that simply moves—it is a data-rich development platform designed to support the next generation of intelligent robotic systems.
