Unitree Robotics is setting new standards with its series of humanoid robots: the G1, R1, H1/H1-2 and H2. These systems combine agile mobility, AI-supported perception, and modular designs. This makes them ideal for use in research, education and industrial applications.
Unitree G1 – Compact humanoid for research and development
With a height of around 130 cm and a weight of approximately 35 kg, the G1 is a compact humanoid robot. Depending on the configuration, it offers between 23 and 43 degrees of freedom, and uses a powerful motor system in combination with 3D LiDAR, a depth camera, and over-the-air (OTA) software updates.This technical basis makes it ideal for education, robotics research and algorithm testing. Its three-fingered Dex3-1 robot hand enables precise gripping movements and fine motor manipulation.
Unitree R1: Gateway to the world of humanoid platforms!
The Unitree R1 and R1 EDU models are aimed at beginners, research institutions, and developers. Their lightweight structure combines a height of 123 cm with an agile body shape and a weight of around 29 kg. Up to 40 degrees of freedom enable versatile and precise movements. The R1 is also ready for immediate use thanks to its simple maintenance and well-thought-out design.An integrated multimodal AI model for speech and image processing expands interaction possibilities and increases adaptability in dynamic environments. Open control and sensor interfaces, as well as support for common simulation platforms, enable seamless transfer of algorithms from virtual training to real hardware. This makes the R1 ideal for experiments, prototyping, robotics research and teaching.
Unitree H1/H1-2: Powerful full-size humanoid robots
With the H1 and advanced H1-2 models, Unitree presents full-size humanoid robots. These models are around 180 cm tall and weigh approximately 47 kg (H1) and 70 kg (H1-2). The H1 can run at an impressive speed of 3.3 m/s while maintaining a stable gait and high flexibility of movement. This enables it to move independently in complex terrain and challenging environments.A 360° LiDAR system supplemented by a depth camera provides high-precision 360° depth perception and enables real-time panoramic scanning. Together with high-quality bearings and a modular design, this creates a system that performs well in both laboratories and industrial scenarios. The H1 is thus clearly positioned at the interface between research and real-world applications.
Unitree H2: New pinnacle of humanoid robotics
The Unitree H2 is the technological pinnacle of the current portfolio. With 31 degrees of freedom, a torque of 360 N·m, a height of around 182 cm and a weight of around 70 kg, it rivals professional humanoid systems. Its robust construction from aircraft-grade aluminium and titanium alloys, combined with high-performance batteries, enables it to withstand demanding research and industrial environments.An integrated 2070 TOPS chip provides the computing power required for modern AI models, opening up a wide range of working scenarios. The H2 significantly expands the limits of humanoid robot applications, developing into a highly flexible platform for complex AI-supported tasks.
Uniform platform for the future of robotics
All models benefit from OTA updates, modular architecture and open development environments. This creates a flexible platform that spans education, research and industry.
Unitree is thus showing where humanoid robotics is heading: towards agile, intelligent and robust humanoids that could soon enrich real-world work and research environments.
