What it is
A humanoid built for the classroom
Rise starts with the Unitree R1 EDU and adds Stokes Robotics secondary development on top. The result is a compact, 25 kg humanoid robot set up for education programs, with the freedom for students to write their own code.
Unitree sells the R1 as a Basic version, which is not programmable, and in several EDU configurations that support high-level and low-level development. Rise is offered on all six EDU configurations.
Where Rise works
Built for three kinds of programs
K-12 and CTE classrooms
Students write code and watch it turn into movement on a robot built like a person.
Colleges and universities
A programmable humanoid for robotics, AI, and simulation coursework.
Events and demonstrations
A compact humanoid that moves easily between classrooms and events.

Each Stokes package starts with the base robot and the standard hardware the manufacturer ships with it, such as the battery and charger. Stokes Robotics then completes the secondary development for the job the robot will do and has everything set up before delivery. Your quote lists the exact configuration and contents, so your purchasing team knows what's arriving before anything is ordered.
Depending on the robot, you can add onsite setup and training, online operator training, a connectivity package with its own stand-alone network and touch-screen control, a STEMBOTICS curriculum license for classroom programs, or a battery and controller upgrade on select quadrupeds. Tell us which ones your team needs and we'll include them in the same quote.
