Overview

The Unitree H1 is a full-size bipedal humanoid robot from Unitree Robotics, announced in 2023 and commercially available since late 2023. It is built for dynamic whole-body locomotion: it was the first electric humanoid reported to perform a standing backflip, holds a Guinness World Record for the fastest running speed by a full-size humanoid at 3.3 m/s, and appeared at the 2025 CCTV Spring Festival Gala. The platform supports ROS2 and full SDK access for research and development. A higher-capability variant, the H1-2, adds 7-DoF arms and a higher total degree-of-freedom count for greater manipulation capability.

Strengths

  • First electric humanoid reported to perform a standing backflip.
  • Holds a Guinness World Record as the fastest-running full-size humanoid, at 3.3 m/s.
  • High joint torque, up to 360 N·m at the knee and leg, supporting dynamic motion.
  • Full SDK access and ROS2 support for research and secondary development.
  • The H1-2 variant adds 7-DoF arms and higher total degrees of freedom for manipulation.
  • Quick-swap 864 Wh battery.

Considerations

  • The base H1 has limited manipulation capability, with 4-DoF arms; the H1-2 variant addresses this with 7-DoF arms.[3]
  • A research-grade development platform rather than a consumer appliance.[3]
  • Real-world active runtime is approximately 1.5 to 2 hours.[3]
  • Unitree publishes no list price and directs buyers to contact a dealer, so pricing depends on reseller and configuration.[1]
  • The H1-2 variant is reportedly not always available for direct purchase.[4]
  • Reported weight figures differ, from approximately 47 kg in independent references to approximately 70 kg on Unitree's current page, likely reflecting configuration differences.[3]
  • Reported degree-of-freedom counts differ by version, from 19 commonly cited for the base H1 to 27 on Unitree's current page and on the H1-2.[1]
