How STAR1 compares to the average across all indexed robots (normalized 0-10 scale)
RobotEra's STAR1 holds the record as the world's fastest humanoid robot, reaching sustained speeds of 3.6 meters per second (nearly 13 km/h). Standing 171 cm tall and weighing 63 kg, the STAR1 packs 55 degrees of freedom, including 12-DOF direct-drive hands with the XHAND1 system. Its fully direct-driven joints deliver up to 400 Nm of torque at peak rotational speeds of 25 radians per second. The robot demonstrated terrain adaptability by running through the Gobi Desert in standard sneakers, showcasing its reinforcement learning-trained gait stability. RobotEra, founded by a Tsinghua University team, runs the STAR1 on its ERA-42 AI model for end-to-end task planning and multimodal sensor fusion.
