Unitree H2-X Timeline

By early November, Unitree’s H2-X product page sets out the full specification: 1,725 mm, 65+ kg, 31 degrees of freedom, dual hot-swappable batteries with a claimed eight-hour runtime, and a price of US$25,400 before tax and shipping. An EDU version with optional dexterous hands is sold through the sales team.

Reporting on the reveal notes that Unitree had not said whether the fight and rescue scenes were autonomous or choreographed, or how the robot would identify threats. Unitree advised keeping at least two to three metres from the robot and warned against dangerous modifications.

Unitree releases a promotional film of the H2-X kicking and denting cars, lifting a vehicle to free a trapped person, jumping from a roughly four-metre platform, disarming a knife-wielding intruder and pulling a pedestrian away from a car. The company claims about eight hours of standing time.

Unitree introduces the H2, a full-size humanoid of about 1.8 m with 31 degrees of freedom, as the successor to the H1. The H2-X is later built on this platform.
