Variants: H1 · H1-2
Overview
Unitree's H1 is a full-size two-legged humanoid from the Hangzhou-based Chinese maker. It comes in a standard version and the H1-2, a heavier variant with more joints and a higher arm payload.
Unitree's official store lists the standard version at US$90,000 but also tells buyers to contact Unitree for the real price, and we could not confirm current availability.
The standard robot stands about 1.8 m tall, weighs about 47 kg and moves at 3.3 m/s, well above the 1.8 m/s median speed across humanoid records. It has 18 degrees of freedom: 5 per leg and 4 per arm. The H1-2 is about 1.78 m and 70 kg, with 27 degrees of freedom and a top speed under 2 m/s. It takes optional Dex5-1 hands with 16 active degrees of freedom, and its peak arm payload is about 21 kg, or about 7 kg rated. The 864 Wh battery sits just under the 907 Wh median. Perception uses 3D LiDAR and a depth camera for 360-degree coverage, and compute is an Intel Core i5, or i7 in the development configuration. Unitree has not published runtime, charge time or a launch date.
