H2

The Unitree H2, dubbed 'Destiny Awakening,' is a full-scale humanoid robot developed by Unitree Robotics, standing 182 cm tall and weighing about 70 kg. Unveiled in October 2025, it marks a leap in humanoid technology with 31 degrees of freedom, enabling fluid, human-like movements for industrial, research, and service applications. Building on Unitree's expertise from H1, G1, and R1 models, the H2 integrates advanced motion control algorithms that support precise dynamic replication and continuous improvement via over-the-air (OTA) updates. Architecturally, the H2 features a robust frame made from aircraft-grade aluminum, titanium alloy, and high-strength engineering plastics. Its 31 DoF are distributed as 6 per leg, 7 per arm, 3 at the waist, and 2 at the head, driving capabilities like walking at up to 5-11 km/h, arm payloads of 15 kg peak (7 kg rated), and expressive gestures. Joints employ industrial-grade crossed roller bearings for high precision and load-bearing, powered by low-inertia, high-speed internal rotor PMSM motors. Leg joints deliver maximum 360 N·m torque, arms 120 N·m, ensuring powerful locomotion and manipulation. Electrically, it uses a premium lithium battery with low internal resistance: 15 Ah capacity (0.972 kWh), maximum 75.6 V voltage, providing approximately 3 hours of runtime. Local air cooling manages heat during intensive tasks. Sensing suite includes wide-field binocular cameras for vision, array microphones, and high-power speakers for voice interaction, enhancing human-robot collaboration. Compute architecture is tiered: base Intel Core i5 for core platform functions, with H2 EDU variant adding Intel Core i7 for user development and optional NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor module delivering 2070 TOPS for AI workloads. This enables embodied AI models supporting diverse intelligent behaviors across scenarios like navigation, object handling, and social interaction. While specific AI models aren't publicly detailed, the high-TOPS compute facilitates integration of multimodal LLMs and reinforcement learning for motion planning, similar to Unitree's other platforms. OTA upgrades ensure evolving capabilities, including future LLM features. Real-world deployment is nascent, as the H2 is newly commercialized (H2 base at $29,900, EDU custom-priced). Demos highlight punching with realistic force (lifting G1 robot), balancing, parkour elements, and bionic facial expressions. Targeted markets include industries, logistics, research, and education, with H2 EDU supporting secondary development. Safety protocols emphasize maintaining distance due to high power, positioning it as a safe yet capable platform for professional use. As the humanoid field matures, the H2 pushes boundaries in expressive motion and AI embodiment, with ongoing releases expanding functionalities.
