D-Robotics and Unitree Robotics Reach Deep Cooperation, Launching Embodied Intelligence Education Solution with Sunrise S100 Compute Box

D-Robotics and Unitree Robotics today appeared together for the first time in a joint exhibition at the Changsha Educational Equipment Exhibition, and announced a deep cooperation. The two parties use the Sunrise S100 compute box as the core computing foundation, combined with Unitree Robotics' Go2 quadruped robot and R1 humanoid robot, to jointly launch an embodied intelligence education solution, covering hardware equipment, curriculum systems, course-competition integrated practice projects, and teaching environment construction, providing complete support for primary and secondary schools to systematically carry out embodied intelligence education. The two parties will integrate D-Robotics' technical accumulation in the field of intelligent computing with Unitree Robotics' product capabilities in the fields of quadruped and humanoid robots, taking education as the first cooperation implementation scenario, jointly creating a replicable and promotable regional robotics education demonstration model, and plan to further expand cooperation to more scenarios such as industry. The Sunrise S100 compute box supports real-machine teaching to create an embodied intelligence education solution. For embodied intelligence to enter primary and secondary school classrooms, robot hardware, computing platforms, and teaching content need to be closely connected. K12 is the first scenario where the joint solution of D-Robotics and Unitree Robotics is implemented; the two parties take this as the first entry point and will subsequently expand to more educational stages and scenarios. The solution uses the Unitree Go2 quadruped robot, R1 humanoid robot, D-Robotics Sunrise S100 intelligent computing platform, and Guyueju desktop robot as the core hardware carriers, accompanied by 15 themed courses with a total of 180 lessons, covering primary school, junior high school, and senior high school, integrating robot perception, computing, and action capabilities into course practice. As the core computing support of the joint solution, the Sunrise S100 intelligent computing platform integrates CPU, BPU, and MCU within a single SoC, placing perception decision-making and real-time motion control on the same chip for collaboration, providing an end-side computing foundation for the perception and intelligent application practice of robot bodies such as Go2 and R1. Compared with traditional educational robot solutions in which visual recognition and motor drive belong to different boards and require additional handling of communication latency and debugging complexity, the S100's integrated computing and control design enables "perception-decision-action" to complete a closed loop on a single platform, supporting real-machine development and task verification oriented to teaching. Centering on the learning needs of different educational stages, the solution establishes a two-level progression path from desktop level to real-machine level. Students can start with desktop robots such as OriginBot, OriginMan, and OriginDog empowered by the full RDK computing foundation including RDK X3 and RDKX5, and gradually advance to comprehensive applications of Go2, R1 quadruped robots, and humanoid robots. Beyond courses, the solution introduces a course-competition integration design, linking knowledge learning and comprehensive application through task challenges. The six course-competition integrated courses cover projects such as dual-robot relay, Go2 stable transportation challenge, and R1 robot referee, integrating tasks such as robot collaboration, transportation, and interaction into teaching, and testing learning outcomes through specific tasks. At the same time, the solution is accompanied by practice projects, books and textbooks, and teaching environment construction standards, supporting multi-scenario reuse in classrooms and laboratories, meeting the needs of daily teaching, project practice, and competition training, and improving the utilization efficiency of teaching resources. Mature computing foundation joins hands with hardcore bodies, education takes the lead, and multi-scenario cooperation accelerates and spreads. This cooperation combines Unitree's R&D and product capabilities in the fields of quadruped and humanoid robots with D-Robotics' intelligent computing platform and education ecosystem to jointly develop teaching solutions for schools. Through course support, regional demonstrations, and joint promotion, the two parties will further expand the teaching applications of Unitree robots, promote the integration of D-Robotics' computing platform into classroom practice, and jointly explore the embodied intelligence education market. D-Robotics continues to build the foundation of the embodied intelligence education ecosystem through computing platforms, joint course development, and partner collaboration. Since 2023, D-Robotics has jointly built robotics majors and talent training systems with multiple institutions; in 2025, it will further join hands with Tsinghua University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Nanjing University, Shenzhen University, and other institutions to explore the construction of embodied intelligence micro-majors, competition cooperation, and cutting-edge algorithm research. Relying on the DUP university developer program, D-Robotics has established cooperation with more than 500 universities, carried out more than 1,000 courses and activities in total, and gathered more than 50 education partners, providing teaching experience and ecosystem resource support for the development and promotion of this joint solution. The long-term value of education cooperation lies in supporting students to continuously advance into robot developers. The competitions supported by D-Robotics cover stages from primary and secondary school to master's and doctoral studies, and have supported more than 3,000 competition teams in total. This cooperation will further enrich the practice carriers for quadruped and humanoid robots, and rely on D-Robotics' computing platform, courses, and competition resources to connect learning and development practice across different educational stages. Jiang Yongsheng, head of Unitree Robotics' general education business unit, said that to keep robots continuously used in schools, computing platforms, development tools, and teaching resources need to work together. The end-side computing capability of D-Robotics' Sunrise S100, plus supporting courses and education ecosystem resources, helps transform body capabilities into more complete teaching solutions. Hu Chunxu, vice president of ecosystem at D-Robotics, said that Unitree's R&D strength in core components, motion control, and complete machine products forms a good complement with D-Robotics' intelligent computing platform. High-performance quadruped and humanoid bodies will bring richer development scenarios to D-Robotics' computing platform, and education is the starting point of the two parties' long-term collaboration.
