Unitree H1

Unitree's first full-size general-purpose humanoid, which once set a humanoid running-speed record.

H1 is the full-size bipedal humanoid robot Unitree Robotics released in August 2023: about 1.8 meters tall, roughly 47 kg, with a peak knee-joint torque of about 360 N·m, and a head carrying 3D lidar and a depth camera. It is best known for its mobility, reaching a running speed of 3.3 m/s, at one point the fastest recorded for a full-size humanoid; the H1 that performed the Yangge folk dance in the “Yangbot” segment of the 2025 CCTV Spring Festival Gala, China's most-watched TV broadcast, was also an H1. The upgraded H1-2 added more degrees of freedom in the arms, meaning more independently movable joints. H1 was one of the earlier full-size humanoids available for purchase, and many papers on humanoid whole-body control and teleoperation have run experiments on it.

ExampleWorks on humanoid teleoperation such as H2O and OmniH2O ran real-robot experiments on the H1, having the robot mimic an operator's whole-body motion in real time.
