Summary

written only from the sourced specs below

RB-Y1 is a wheeled robot designed for research applications. It has 24 degrees of freedom, a 600 mm arm length, and a 3 kg payload per arm.

RB-Y1 has a height of 140 cm, a width of 60 cm, and a depth of 69 cm. Its mass is 131 kg, and it is made of aluminum. The robot uses wheeled locomotion and has a maximum speed of 1.5 m/s. It operates on a 48 V nominal battery with a 25 Ah capacity and 1270 Wh energy, providing a runtime of 180 minutes. RB-Y1 features 24 total degrees of freedom, with 7 degrees of freedom per arm. Each arm has a 3 kg payload capacity and a 600 mm length, with a position repeatability of 0.05 mm and a joint range of -15–15 degrees per joint. It is equipped with an NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin compute unit and 64 GB of memory. The robot uses ROS2 middleware, with an SDK available in CPP and Python, and supports MJCF and URDF simulation assets on a Linux OS. RB-Y1 includes IMU and lidar sensors. It supports VR teleoperation and other teleoperation modes, and features voice interaction. Hand sensors include force torque. Announced in 2024, RB-Y1 is in preorder stage and available from October 2024. It was designed in KR and manufactured in KR, with headquarters in Sejong-si. The price starts from 80000 USD.

Specs

61 published · what each spec means
61 of 195 specs published23 by the maker

61 of 195 measures disclosure, not the robot: it counts the specs the maker and the directories we read had published when this page was last checked, so a robot with fewer published specs is not a worse robot. Makers also measure differently — height with or without the head, payload rated or peak — so two sources can both be right and still disagree, which is why every value carries a chip naming who stated it.
