Unitree H2 - Humanoid robot

Unitree H2 - Next-Gen Humanoid Platform Robot for Research & High-End Engineering

The Unitree H2 is a next-generation humanoid research platform - optimized for dynamic performance, AI integration and cutting-edge mechatronic research. 31 degrees of freedom (DOF), up to 360 N-m peak torque in the leg actuators and a fully sensor-integrated system design deliver the precision and robustness that modern robotics labs expect.

Highlights

• Powerful drives: Low-inertia high-speed PMSM internal rotor actuators with industrial cross roller bearings for high stiffness and low friction.

• Precise control: Dual-encoder topology per joint and distributed embedded control enable high-frequency motion planning and force-controlled applications.

• Adaptive motion framework: OTA-capable AI motion models (imitation learning & reinforcement learning) ensure continuously improved locomotion & manipulation.

• Research-Ready: Up to 2070 TOPS Edge-AI (optional, EDU) and open HL/LL-APIs for full control from high-level behavior to low-level actuation.

• System design for laboratories: Wide-angle stereo vision, beamforming microphone + high-power speaker, 75.6 V Li-Ion energy system, Wi-Fi 6 + BT 5.2, approx. 3 h runtime.
