Deployment
Unitree H1 at Beijing, China
Unitree's full-size bipedal humanoid research platform, standing approximately 1.8 m tall and weighing 47 kg. The H1 achieves a documented maximum running speed of 3.3 m/s (7.4 mph) using proprietary high-torque joints with 360 N-m peak knee torque, and is powered by a quick-swappable 864 Wh lithium-ion battery.
The base configuration ships without hands; arms include expandable mounting points for end-effectors. Unitree positions the H1 as a high-performance research platform for universities and enterprise R&D teams, distinct from the smaller and lower-cost G1.
