Unitree H2 Plus

Full-size bipedal humanoid robot developed by Unitree Robotics and selected as the hardware chassis for NVIDIA's Isaac GR00T reference humanoid design, announced at ICRA 2026 in Vienna (June 2026). Standing approximately 183 cm (6 feet) tall with 31 degrees of freedom in the base body. The NVIDIA Isaac GR00T reference configuration pairs the H2 Plus chassis with Sharpa Wave tactile five-fingered hands (22 DoF total, 11 DoF each) and an NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor T5000 module for onboard compute, enabling advanced on-device inference for sim-to-real policy transfer and dexterous manipulation. The Isaac GR00T open software stack, including Isaac Lab simulation and GR00T N1 foundation model workflows, runs natively on the platform. Unitree announced H2 Plus unit availability beginning October 2026. Named early adopters include Ai2, ETH Zurich, Stanford Robotics Center, and UC San Diego's Advanced Robotics and Controls Laboratory.
