Modular Wheeled-Legged Robot (Bipedal / Quadruped)
The DirectDrive D1 is a fully modular embodied intelligent robot.
It combines bipedal and quadruped locomotion on one platform; with an 80 kg standing payload, NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX 8 GB, Ubuntu 22.04 and ROS 2 support, it is designed for research, inspection, delivery and field robotics projects.

D1 is a fully modular embodied intelligent robot developed by Direct Drive Technology. A single module weighs 24.3 kg and reaches 2 m/s in bipedal mode; when two modules dock, the 48.5 kg quadruped structure reaches 3.2 m/s. It carries 80 kg standing and more than 100 kg prone.
The 43.2 V 9 Ah (388.8 Wh) battery provides at least 5 hours of no-load runtime and up to 25 km of range; charging takes under 2 hours. The documented maximum obstacle height is 70 cm, with a recommended operating obstacle of 50 cm. Ubuntu 22.04 and ROS 2 run on an NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX 8 GB; through 2 × USB-C, 1 × Ethernet and a charging port, a robotic arm, depth camera, LiDAR and large wheel modules can be added.

Single is one D1 platform and Double is two units; weight and speed values are given for the undocked (bipedal) and docked (quadruped) states.
D1 Single
Single platform: research, education and modular development starting point in bipedal mode.
D1 Double
Two units: docked quadruped structure; projects requiring parallel testing or collaboration.
The use cases the manufacturer defines for the DirectDrive D1.
D1 is positioned as the world's first fully modular embodied intelligent robot.
It carries 80 kg standing and more than 100 kg in the prone position.
The 43.2 V 9 Ah (388.8 Wh) battery provides at least 5 hours of no-load runtime and up to 25 km of range.
The documented maximum obstacle height is 70 cm; a 50 cm operating obstacle is recommended for safer evaluation.
Ubuntu 22.04 and ROS 2 run on the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX 8 GB.

The most common questions about the DirectDrive D1.
Single is one D1 platform and Double is two units. Double is chosen for projects that need parallel testing or collaboration. The specifications give undocked (24.3 kg, 2 m/s bipedal) and docked (48.5 kg, 3.2 m/s quadruped) values separately.
Yes. D1 is built around Ubuntu 22.04 and ROS 2, so research teams can develop navigation, perception and secondary development workflows on the platform.
D1 is designed for multi-locomotion testing. The documented maximum obstacle is 70 cm; a 50 cm operating obstacle is recommended for safer evaluation.
The 43.2 V 9 Ah (388.8 Wh) battery provides at least 5 hours of no-load runtime and up to 25 km of range. Charging takes under 2 hours.
Official expansion options are a robotic arm, depth camera, LiDAR and large wheels; software is updated via OTA. Interfaces: 2 × USB-C, 1 × Ethernet, 1 × charging port.
