H1 is about 180 centimetres tall and weighs roughly 47 kilograms, with 18 degrees of freedom and knee joints rated near 360 newton metres of torque. Unitree measured it moving at 3.3 metres per second, among the fastest recorded for a full-size humanoid, and perception comes from a 3D lidar and depth camera giving all-round coverage. It ships with a software development kit and reinforcement learning training environments, and buyers add their own arms, hands and compute. Priced well below comparable Western machines, it became one of the most widely bought full-size humanoids for research, demonstrations and media work.
Of note
- Recorded moving at 3.3 metres per second, among the fastest for a full-size humanoid
- Sold into research and demonstration work at a small fraction of Western humanoid prices
- Widely used as a base platform for third-party arms, hands and compute
