Robot overview

The H1 is Unitree’s flagship full-scale humanoid, standing 180 cm (5'11") tall. Unlike smaller bipedal agents, the H1 is designed for heavy-duty mobility in complex terrains. It serves as the primary vessel for Unitree’s most advanced powertrain, achieving a world-record walking speed of 3.3 m/s and demonstrating "potential mobility" exceeding 5 m/s.

In 2026, the H1 has evolved into two distinct enterprise configurations: the standard H1 (locomotion-optimized) and the H1-2 (manipulation-optimized). With an industrial-grade build and a focus on "Robot-as-a-Service" (RaaS) models, the H1 is being deployed by manufacturing giants to accumulate real-world industrial data and automate "heavy-lift" logistics that exceed the physical limits of smaller robots.

Key

Technical Breakthroughs

Ultra-High Torque Density: The H1-2 features the M107 joint motor, delivering a peak torque of 360 N·m in the legs and 120 N·m in the arms. This results in a peak torque density of 189 N·m/kg, providing the explosive power needed for rapid balance recovery and heavy material handling.
360° Industrial Perception: The H1 utilizes a high-precision sensor suite combining Livox MID360 3D LiDAR with an Intel RealSense depth camera. This enables a panoramic 3D scan of the environment, allowing for sub-centimeter obstacle avoidance in unscripted factory settings.
H1-2 Dexterity Upgrade: The specialized H1-2 model introduces 7-degree-of-freedom (DoF) arms, including a 3-DoF wrist. When paired with optional dexterous hands (like the Dex5-1), the H1-2 can perform full-stack research combining high-speed locomotion with intricate tool use.
Replaceable High-Capacity Battery: Designed for industrial uptime, the H1 features a quick-release 864 Wh battery. In an enterprise setting, this allows for rapid hot-swapping to maintain near-continuous operation during multi-shift logistics cycles.

Deployment

+ Scalability

Industrial Inspection & Logistics: In 2026, Unitree is targeting the H1 for autonomous industrial inspection, utilising its 15 kg (33 lbs) payload capacity and all-terrain capabilities to monitor hazardous or sprawling infrastructure.
Standard for Research Institutions: The H1 has become the "go-to" platform for full-scale humanoid R&D, priced competitively at roughly $90,000–$128,000. This makes it the most accessible full-size biped for labs that require "Atlas-level" performance without the proprietary restrictions.
The "Robot-as-a-Service" Shift: Unitree is transitioning toward exporting turnkey automation solutions. In early 2026, the company began offering the H1 as part of a managed fleet service, providing enterprises with both hardware and a cloud-based management stack.
Strategic Global Partnerships: By leveraging a supply chain that is over 90% localized, Unitree is scaling H1 production to meet thousands of units annually, focusing on deep integration with domestic manufacturing giants and international distribution hubs.
