Industrial Applications
Editorial: historical research platform with published hardware table, STAR1 URDF and ROS2 example packages. Useful for locomotion/manipulation study with matching older hardware; no current production offer, validated tool load, duty cycle or local service proof transferred from L7.
This editorial assessment concerns industrial buyer readiness. It is not an independent performance test.

Manipulation and Perception
55 full joints: legs 12, arms 14, hands 24, waist 3, head 2. Datasheet arms load OVER 20 kg lacks per-arm/dual condition; scalar unknown. 160 kg TOTAL structural payload and OVER 25 kg HAND grip are different ratings, not safe arm tool payload. Joint 400 Nm peak/25 rad/s are not continuous working ratings.
Original maker PDF: Orin 275 TOPS plus external compute support, Intel controller, tactile fingertips, 3 D cameras, microphone array and facial screen. Exact shipped sensor/ BOM and current software options unverified.
SDK and Integration
STAR1 ROS2 trajectory/action, RL and state-control example packages. Public dev branch STAR1 ROS2 packages; exact supported distributions/firmware by delivered controller. Official STAR1 URDF with actual BSD3 root licence; exact physics/duty and runtime compatibility not verified. Public repository rights are separate from firmware, model weights, commercial software and data. Match exact hardware, messages and supported firmware; not an independent safety controller.

Safety Notes
No exact signed EU conformity dossier, independent stopping/fall envelope, safety-integrity rating or validated human-collaboration mode inspected. High joint torque, speed or hand load are not safe collaboration evidence. Follow delivered manual, physical test protection and system-level integration assessment; public ROS services are not a certified stop system.
Compliance and Certificates
| Standard | Status | Jurisdiction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| CE marking | Unknown | European Union | No exact-model signed declaration and complete delivered configuration dossier inspected. For L7 / M7 / Q5, European seller promises a declaration; promise is not independent verification. |
| ISO 10218 review required | Requires buyer review | International | Engineering-review category only; no exact safety certificate or safe collaboration approval established. |
Commercial Readiness
| Pricing | Current exact-configuration manufacturer price not verified; quote must specify tax, shipping, hands, compute, software and commissioning. |
|---|---|
| Price range | Quote-based or unverified |
| Lead time | Needs verification |
| Availability regions | China manufacturer/project inquiry; exact overseas scope by contract |
| Spare parts | No independently inspected local inventory or repair response SLA. |
| Warranty | Exact whole-robot, battery, hand and regional warranty period/exclusions unverified. Public software/component licences are not hardware warranties. |
| Configuration and pricing basis | Exact configuration quotation required |
| Distributors and service | Current exact-model OEM appointment and local repair scope require written confirmation. |
No public exhibition, company order book or aggregate component count treated as delivered robot fleet.

ROBOTERA · Accessed Nov 2, 2026
Two-page original English PDF read visually. STAR1 171 cm/63 kg/55 full joints, 31 body plus 24 hands; Orin 275 TOPS, IMU /vision, tactile, microphones and teleoperation. Outdoor tested up-to 3.6 m/s, 400 Nm maximum joint torque and 25 rad/s. Arms load OVER 20 kg has no clear per-arm/dual definition; 160 kg total structural load andover 25 kg HAND grip are not arm payload. Current L7 is separate.

STAR1 public ROS2 example/control packages ↗
RobotEra official roboterax GitHub account · Accessed Nov 2, 2026
Dev-branch STAR1 example packages, trajectory action server, xbot interfaces and TorchScript RL controller, with developer mode/ready/activate services. README claims BSD3 but its linked root LICENSE returns 404; actual per-file/package grant still requires review. Service names are not tested emergency-stop safety validation.
