UK and European availability
Unitree’s global shop lists R1 AIR from US$4,900 and R1 from US$5,900 before shipping, duties and taxes; R1 EDU is quoted by sales. Direct international ordering is offered, but Robot Harbour has not verified UK or European stockholding, a local distributor, integration services or after-sales support. Buyers should confirm import costs, conformity obligations, battery transport, warranty returns and configuration details before purchase.
Important qualification
The figures above are manufacturer specifications, not results of independent Robot Harbour testing. Unitree’s official product imagery notes that prototype appearance may differ from the delivered product. The global humanoid market remains at an early stage; capability depends on configuration, software and environment, and public or workplace use requires supervision and a specific risk assessment.
