Key Features:
1. Enhanced Mobility with 43 Degrees of Freedom
The G1EDU-U4 offers remarkable agility, dynamic movement, and balance with its 43 Degrees of Freedom (DOF), significantly upgraded from the previous model’s 29. This upgrade allows for more precise and fluid movement, making the robot ideal for a wide range of applications, from education to high-level research.
- Legs: Each leg features 6 Degrees of Freedom, providing smooth walking, running, and the ability to perform complex maneuvers.
- Arms: Equipped with 7 Degrees of Freedom per arm, the robot can handle detailed tasks such as object manipulation, assembly, and even more intricate movements that require dexterity and precision.
- Waist: With 3 Degrees of Freedom in the waist, the G1EDU-U4 can perform dynamic rotations, providing greater flexibility and adaptability.
- Advanced Dexterous Hands: The G1EDU-U4 comes equipped with 2 Dex3-1 force-controlled three-finger dexterous hands (with tactile feedback), an upgrade from the previous model that lacked tactile sensors. These hands can manipulate objects with realistic force control, making the robot capable of handling delicate items, adjusting grip strength, and performing detailed tasks with accuracy. The tactile sensors in each hand allow it to detect the level of force applied, enabling fine-tuned object manipulation.
- High-Torque and Full Range of Motion:
- Knee Joint Torque: 120 N·m, ensuring robust movement and stability.
- Hip Movement Range:
- Pitch (P): ±154°
- Roll (R): -30° to +170°
- Yaw (Y): ±158°
- Knee Movement Range: 0° to 165°, giving the robot deep bending and squatting capabilities.
- Waist Z-Axis Movement: ±155°, providing a high degree of torso rotation.
2. Advanced Perception & AI Capabilities
Equipped with powerful sensors and an AI-powered computing system, the G1EDU-U4 can perceive its surroundings, adapt to changing environments, and execute complex tasks autonomously.
- Depth Camera & 3D LiDAR:
The depth camera and 3D LiDAR provide the G1EDU-U4 with the ability to sense depth, create 3D maps of its environment, and avoid obstacles. These sensors allow for precise navigation and interaction in dynamic environments, perfect for tasks like object manipulation, autonomous navigation, and human-robot interaction. - AI-Powered Processing:
With an 8-core high-performance processor, the G1EDU-U4 can process complex AI algorithms in real-time. The robot is equipped with 100 TOPS of AI computing power, enabling it to perform deep learning tasks, make autonomous decisions, and interact with its environment in an intelligent and adaptive manner. - Force-Controlled Hands with Tactile Feedback:
The force-controlled three-finger hands provide precise control over how objects are manipulated, while the tactile sensors enable the robot to “feel” what it is holding. This capability is crucial for tasks requiring delicate manipulation or when feedback on grip strength is needed.
3. Reliable Power and Cooling System
The G1EDU-U4 is built for long-lasting, reliable operation in demanding environments, ensuring that it performs at its peak without overheating or running out of power.
- Battery Life:
The robot is powered by a 13-string battery system that offers a 2-hour battery life, making it perfect for extended sessions in educational settings, labs, or research environments. - Cooling System:
The local air cooling system ensures the robot’s internal components remain cool during intensive tasks, preventing overheating and ensuring stable performance even during prolonged use. - Lightweight and Durable:
Weighing just 35 kg (with battery), the robot strikes the perfect balance between durability and mobility, making it easy to move around for demonstrations, research, or interactive learning.
4. Seamless Connectivity and Control
The G1EDU-U4 features modern wireless communication and intuitive control, allowing easy operation and integration into existing workflows.
- Wireless Communication:
Equipped with Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2, the robot ensures fast, reliable communication for data exchange and remote control, offering flexibility in how you interact with the robot. - Remote Control & OTA Upgrades:
