Use
Use	Companion, Education	Education, Research
User programming

Phone app
Phone app	Yes	Yes
Intended use
Intended use	–	Motion demonstrations and education/research; EDU is the version for supported secondary development. A humanoid shape does not establish useful autonomous household labour.
Movement
Movement	–	Six degrees of freedom per leg. Air has four per arm; standard and EDU have five per arm plus two waist and two head degrees of freedom. EDU can be configured with additional hand joints, taking its total from 26 to as many as 40.
Autonomy
Autonomy	–	The maker describes multimodal voice and image interaction, but warns that some example functions shown are still being developed and tested. Standard motion routines are distinct from general autonomous manipulation.
User programming
User programming	Block, voice, PC Robosen Studio, easy and manual programming.	The exact current comparison marks secondary development absent on Air and standard R1, supported on EDU. EDU offers optional computing and dexterous hands; these are not standard features of the entry models.
Remote control
Remote control	Voice/app control; Mini Theater coordinates compatible Flagship robots.	Handheld controller included in the maker's comparison; the maker also provides its R1 app.
Regional availability
Regional availability	DHFF-SE orderable from UK store on 3 October 2026; current purchase area states dispatch in 2–5 working days. Old preorder title and Q3 2025 FAQ remain on the page.	The official global store lists Air, standard and EDU variants as available for ordering, with an In Stock heading. Additional EDU accessories require contact with sales. Shipping/import clearance conditions apply; individual destination delivery is not established by the headline. Checked October 2026.
Release details
Release details	Exact first-sale date not established; store update and preorder dates are not retail dates.	Contemporary launch coverage dates the announcement to 25 July 2025.

Processing
Processing	–	Eight-core high-performance processor across the range. EDU optionally supports additional high-power computing modules, including Orin configurations; no exact standard processor model is published.
Sensors
Sensors	–	Air monocular camera; standard R1 and EDU binocular camera. Joint encoders are described as dual plus single encoders.
Camera
Camera	–	Monocular on Air; binocular on standard and EDU. Camera presence is not proof of depth-map accuracy or independent navigation performance.
Audio
Audio	–	Four-microphone array and speaker across the range.
Actuators
Actuators	31 servos, including hub servos for the car wheels.	Low-inertia high-speed inner-rotor permanent-magnet synchronous motors with local air cooling. Knee movement −10° to +139°; the maker's numerical joint limits are not an agility score.
Payload
Payload	–	Maker arm-load claim about 2 kg, varying greatly with arm extension. Its table labels this row Maximum Torque of Arm Joint but gives kilograms and a load footnote; it is not a published N·m torque figure.
Connections
Connections	Bluetooth 5.0 BLE; USB-C charging.	Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2.
Size and weight
Size and weight	Maker labels robot 377 mm (L) × 192 mm (l) × 210 mm (H), and car 367 × 140 × 138 mm. Robot axis labels appear inconsistent with upright photographs; headline axes omitted pending clarification.	Standing height × width × thickness 1,230 × 357 × 190 mm. Weight with battery approximately 27 kg for Air and 29 kg for standard/EDU. The current specification supersedes the approximately 25 kg wording in initial launch coverage; optional EDU attachments may alter the supplied configuration.
Accessories
Accessories	–	Optional dexterous hands and additional computing modules are EDU-specific. Maker store renders are explicitly labelled prototype images; their exact appearance can differ from supplied hardware.
Battery
Battery life (maker's claim)
Battery life (maker's claim)	–	About 1 hour
Battery capacity
Battery capacity	2,100 mAh	–
Battery
Battery	11.1 V pack.	Quick-release lithium battery; capacity is not published in the exact current R1 table used.
Charging
Charging	Approximately 120 minutes.	Charger supplied; the current comparison does not publish a charge-time claim.
Runtime conditions
Runtime conditions	Specification table labels 60 minutes as standby; FAQ also claims 60 minutes usage. Conflict retained without assigning a headline working runtime.	About one hour is the maker's claim across configurations, without a detailed workload test. Actual performance varies with scenarios and configurations.
