Tell HN: Out the door price for Unitree R1 ($5900) Robot to USA

9•fcpguru•5mo ago
Got this email directly from unitree:

--- For the R1

For the product details you can find in this link: https://www.unitree.com/R1

The R1 basic we just released is 5900USD and the delivery will begin before end of the year.

If you need to program the robot, you can choose the R1 EDU, price is 12500USD for the standard version, version with higher computing power price is 14750USD and version with 3 finger dex hand with tactile sensor price is 26050USD, the delivery starts end of this year.

Freight is 1000USD, duty on the buyer side. ---

Going with the $5,900 USD one but customs adds the shipping so $6,900. I'm in Los Angeles, assuming direct to LAX air I could skip HMF payment (only charged on ocean shipments). HTS Code is 8479.50.00.00: Industrial robots

Base Duty 2.5% and Section 301 Tariff 25%

Total Landed Cost (to LA port):

Product + Shipping: $6,900

Duties & Tariffs: ≈ $1,932

Customs Broker: ≈ $150

Grand Total: ≈ $8,982

Curious - what’s your use case?
fcpguru•5mo ago
In 1984 my dad bought the original Mac for $2,495 ($7,600 in today’s dollars). Thinking I should do the same for my kids with the R1? Being an early adopter of the home computer wave definitely helped me in school.

Sounds like it would be a fun experience!

I dont need a robot that can throw a punch. I need a butler who can clean the house.

I know this comment was made tongue-in-cheek, but I'd argue the use-case depends on where you live. There are many crime-ridden areas within the US that are hostile toward homeowner defense in case of a break-in. Additionally, these areas are often under the jurisdiction of understaffed or demotivated law enforcement agencies.

I'd prefer having a robot serve as first-line of defense for home invasions versus me confronting an armed burglar while half-awake in my underwear. Despite burglary alarm systems, response times are often laughably delinquent.

I live in an area where the median home price is 7 figures (it's mostly expensive land rather than opulent homes). My neighborhood averages at least 6 home invasions per year. These aren't performed by your average criminal - they operate in sophisticated groups that employ WIFI jammers to knock out security cameras before breaking in. This is a significant issue across other areas of the US.

That said, I'd prefer a robot with both defensive and home assistant capabilities :)

They'll find a way to jam that too but initially the robot waiting for them at the front door will be exiting for them
