Sprout vs Unitree R1
One row per spec, aligned across 2 robots. A hatched cell means neither the maker nor the directories we read publish that value.
Sprout or Unitree R1? What the published figures say
assembled from the figures below — no score, no ranking, no winner
Of the 39 measurements both robots publish, the printed values differ on 28 and are identical on 11.
9 of them are one number against another — Sprout prints the higher figure on 3, Unitree R1 on 6 — and the other 19 differ in kind rather than in magnitude: a list, a yes/no, a range, or the same quantity printed in a different unit.
On height, Unitree R1 is 15% higher at against Sprout's .
On weight, Unitree R1 is 28% higher at against Sprout's .
On degrees of freedom, Sprout publishes and Unitree R1 .
Unitree R1 has figures its sources state as a bound rather than an exact value, so those gaps are not like-for-like.
Sprout publishes integrations — — and Unitree R1 does not.
Unitree R1 publishes LiDAR — — and Sprout does not.
The most important differences
ranked by how much of the catalogue publishes the measurement
The 5 most widely published of the 28 measurements where these two differ — ranked that way because a figure most of the catalogue publishes is one that means the same thing on both sides. Every value carries the source that states it.

What each one is
from each robot's own published columns
Sprout
Sprout is a general availability bipedal humanoid from Fauna Robotics, designed in United States. Its page publishes 56 of 195 sourced specifications, 6 of them from the maker.
Unitree R1
Unitree R1 is a mass production bipedal humanoid from Unitree Robotics, designed in China. Its page publishes 78 of 195 sourced specifications, 39 of them from the maker.
No value in this table has been independently measured or filed with a regulator — every number is a claim by a maker or by a third-party directory, and the chip on each one says which.
