R1 walking around the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia

Published on Jul 21, 2016

R1 " Your Personal Humanoid " has an Italian design, it is made of 50% plastic, it is 1.25 m high and its weight is around 50kg.
It will initially have a cost similar to a small car and once upscaled as a factory product for the market it will cost only few thousand euro. In the next 12-18 months this first robot prototype will be implemented for large scale production and marketing thanks to private investors involvement.
