Adult-Sized Humanoids

The laboratory currently hosts two adult-sized humanoid robots dedicated to the study of bipedal locomotion, autonomous navigation, and human–robot interaction. These robots serve as the primary testbeds for our research in complex dynamic environments.

Unitree G1

The Unitree G1 represents a massive leap forward in humanoid robotics, combining a compact, agile form factor with high-performance sensing and power. Designed to be a versatile agent for the next generation of automation, the G1 excels in movement, perception, and endurance.

Technical specifications

1. Humanoid proportions: Standing at approximately 130 cm and weighing only 35 kg, the G1 is designed to navigate human environments with ease.

2. High mobility: Featuring up to 23 degrees of freedom, this robot can perform complex, fluid movements and adapt to diverse physical tasks.

3. Superior power: Equipped with high-torque joints reaching up to 90 N⋅m, providing the strength necessary for dynamic maneuvers.

4. Advanced perception: Utilizes a 3D LiDAR + Depth Camera system for 360° detection perception, allowing it to map surroundings and avoid obstacles in real-time.

5. Reliable endurance: Powered by a high-capacity battery providing approximately 2 hours of continuous operation.

Booster T1

The Booster T1 is an advanced, open-source humanoid platform engineered for high-performance research and development. Known for its flexible and durable architecture, the T1 excels in executing complex dynamic maneuvers—such as sports, martial arts, and rapid fall recovery—making it a robust tool for next-generation robotics applications.

Technical specifications

1. Compact and lightweight design: With a height of approximately 118 cm and a weight of about 30 kg, optimized for easy handling and versatile operation in diverse experimental setups.

2. Joint mobility: Featuring 23 degrees of freedom, the robot provides exceptional flexibility for fluid and anthropomorphic movements.

3. High-torque actuation: Equipped with custom motors delivering a maximum peak torque of 130 N⋅m, providing the necessary strength for high-impact activities and dynamic stability.

4. Advanced sensory suite: Integrates a depth camera and high-precision 9-axis IMU sensors for real-time spatial awareness and robust posture control.

5. Robust autonomy and computing: Powered by a high-capacity battery providing up to 2 hours of walking (4 hours standing), and supported by an NVIDIA AGX Orin GPU for real-time AI processing and multimodal interactions.
