# Unitree ## Kurzbeschreibung **“More than Wisdom, Be with You”; in its online store, Unitree describes itself as a robotics company focused on the development, production, and sale of consumer and industrial robots.** Unitree develops and sells humanoid robots such as the G1, H1/H1-2, H2, and R1, as well as quadruped robots, robotic arms, LiDAR/perception products, and components. The humanoid models are primarily positioned for research, development, education, demonstration, embodied AI, teleoperation, motion research, and early industrial/service pilot projects. Unitree itself points out that global humanoid robotics is still in an early exploratory phase and that users should understand the limitations of humanoid robots before purchasing. ## Claim More than Wisdom, Be with You ## Geeignet für - API Integration - Automation / Workflows - Education - Marketing & Advertising - Science ## Kernfunktionen - Autonomous Navigation - Embodied AI - Humanoid Robots - Industrial Robots - Robot Learning - Robot Manipulation - Robot Teleoperation - Service Robots ## Preismodell - **other:** **Unitree R1 / R1 Air / R1 ED**U Compact humanoid robot available for pre-order; according to the official store page, it features a multimodal speech/vision model, 20 to 26 degrees of freedom, open joint and sensor interfaces, and simulation platform support. According to the store description, the standard version does not support secondary development; the EDU version is recommended for customization. **Unitree G1 / G1 EDU** Humanoid robot for research, development, and robotics experiments; according to the official product page, it features 23 to 43 joint motors, support for imitation and reinforcement learning, a force-controlled dexterous hand in the EDU version and options, and high mobility. **Unitree H1 / H1-2** Full-size humanoid with 3D LiDAR, depth camera, high mobility, replaceable battery, and high joint torque density; intended primarily for research, demonstration, and advanced robotics development. **Unitree H2 / H2 E**DU New full-size humanoid with 31 degrees of freedom, powerful chip, bionic head, and optional EDU/development options; H2 EDU is available through sales/contact. **Custom Robots / Professional Service** Unitree lists Professional Service and Custom Robots in the shop; specific services, SLAs, privacy policies, and integration packages must be requested individually. **Shipping, Customs, Import **In its international shop, Unitree notes that customers are responsible for shipping costs, customs duties, taxes, and import clearance; contact information and, if applicable, a Tax ID are required for customs clearance. ## DSGVO und Datenschutz **Gesamteinschätzung:** No **On-prem / local hosting: indirect / not available** The shop's website does not specify any on-premise or self-hosting option for the shop/service infrastructure. While physical robots and partly open interfaces are described for individual products, there is no documented way to operate the relevant service yourself on your own infrastructure. **Private cloud / data center: unclear** A dedicated or segregated private cloud/data center option is not specified on the website. There is also no statement regarding customer-specific EU/EEA data centers or isolated environments. **EU SaaS / managed: partial** The website states that personal data is initially processed in Ireland, i.e. within the EU. At the same time, it explicitly states that data is subsequently stored and further processed outside Europe, including Canada and the USA. Therefore, EU data residency is not consistently demonstrated. **Hybrid: unclear** A hybrid operating model with clearly distributed local/internal and external processing is not specified on the website. **DPA / DPA: unclear** A data processing agreement or DPA is not specified on the website. No corresponding subpage or ordering option was found on the provider's domain. **No training: unclear** A statement that prompts, uploads, chat histories, telemetry, or outputs are not used for training general AI models is not specified on the website. A specific opt-out from AI training is not specified on the website. **Open source / transparency path: partial** On product pages, a transparency path is partly suggested, for example through 'Fully open joint & sensor interfaces' or 'Open program interfaces and end interfaces'. However, for the shop/cloud/data processing side, there are no documented open-source components, no open-source license overview, and no clear self-hostable sovereignty path on the website. **Data processing** The website describes the service as an e-commerce website for overseas sales and names Shopify as the processing service as well as Google Analytics for usage analysis. The privacy policy states that personal data is first processed in Ireland and then transferred outside Europe, including Canada and the USA, for storage and further processing. No further own data centers, EU data residency commitments, subprocessors, or contractual guarantees are specified on the website. **Conclusion** For users throughout the EU/EEA area, no reliably GDPR-compliant overall usage is documented based on the provider's website. There are some positive signals such as GDPR references and initial processing in Ireland, but the documented onward transfer outside Europe, the absence of a DPA discoverable on the website, missing information on subprocessors, lack of EU data residency, and missing evidence of certifications overall argue against a clear compliance assessment. Therefore, overall 'no'. **Sources** - [https://shop.unitree.com/policies/privacy-policy](https://shop.unitree.com/policies/privacy-policy) - [https://shop.unitree.com/policies/terms-of-service](https://shop.unitree.com/policies/terms-of-service) - [https://shop.unitree.com/pages/about-us](https://shop.unitree.com/pages/about-us) - [https://shop.unitree.com/pages/disclaimer](https://shop.unitree.com/pages/disclaimer) - [https://shop.unitree.com/pages/ccpa-opt-out](https://shop.unitree.com/pages/ccpa-opt-out) - [https://shop.unitree.com/products/unitree-r1](https://shop.unitree.com/products/unitree-r1) - [https://shop.unitree.com/products/unitree-r1-d](https://shop.unitree.com/products/unitree-r1-d) The website does contain a privacy policy, and it names rights for persons in the EEA as well as initial processing in Ireland. However, for reliable GDPR-compliant use throughout the EU/EEA, the provider’s website lacks the decisive documentation: no AVV/DPA can be found, no separate subprocessor list, no guaranteed EU data residency, and no reliable information on certifications. In addition, the website states that personal data is transferred outside Europe after the initial processing in Ireland for storage and processing, including to Canada and the USA. **Positive** Positively documented are a published privacy policy, an explicit reference to the GDPR for persons in the EEA, the naming of data subject rights, and the statement that personal data is initially processed in Ireland. In addition, Shopify is named as a processing service and an opt-out is mentioned for Google Analytics. **Negative** Negative is that the website itself does not guarantee EU/EEA-exclusive data residency, but instead states onward transfer outside Europe for storage and further processing. An AVV/DPA is not provided on the website. A subprocessor list is not provided on the website. On-premise, self-hosting, or private cloud options are not provided on the website. An opt-out from AI training is not provided on the website. Relevant certifications such as ISO 27001 or SOC 2 are not provided on the website. The privacy policy also appears partially generic or incomplete, for example with placeholders such as '[INSERT AGE]' and without a completed email address in the contact section. **Server location** Stated on the website: personal data is initially processed in Ireland and then transferred outside Europe for storage and further processing, including Canada and the USA. Further specific server/data center locations of the provider are not provided on the website. ## Hosting und Daten - **On-Prem / lokales Hosting:** unknown - **Private Cloud / Rechenzentrum:** unknown - **EU SaaS / Managed:** teilweise / indirekt - **Hybrid:** unknown - **AVV / DPA:** unknown - **Kein Training auf Kundendaten:** unknown - **Open-Source / Transparenz-Pfad:** teilweise / indirekt ## Standort **Land:** China **Taxonomie:** China Official Privacy Policy: Hangzhou Unitree Robotics Co., Ltd., Room 306, Building 1, No. 88 Dongliu Road, Binjiang District, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China.
