Unitree H2-X: specifications and price are now published

Three weeks after the launch video, Unitree has published the H2-X spec sheet: 31 joints, two hot-swappable batteries and a price of USD 25,400 before tax. What it tells us, and what it leaves open.

Bybotix separates observed facts, public announcements and local supportability before recommending a robot project.

On 2 November we wrote that the H2-X had neither a price nor a spec sheet. That has now changed: Unitree has published a full product page, with a specification table and a price of USD 25,400 excluding tax and shipping for the standard version. The EDU version, open to development, remains on quote.

What the spec sheet says

  • Size: 1.725 m standing, over 65 kg with battery.
  • Joints: 31 — 6 per leg, 7 per arm, 3 at the waist and 2 in the head. Hands are reserved for EDU.
  • Power: two hot-swappable batteries, 1.152 kWh in total, for about 4 h of continuous walking and 8 h standing.
  • Strength: about 7 kg per arm rated, 15 kg peak; maximum torque of 300 N·m in the legs and 150 N·m in the arms.
  • Compute: an 8-core processor for base functions. EDU adds a development PC (Intel Core i7 or Orin NX) and an optional Thor T5000 or Orin AGX.
  • Warranty: 8 months for the standard version, 12 months for EDU.

More endurance than H2 Plus, but a different use

Compared with H2 Plus, H2-X is slightly smaller and lighter, and its two batteries almost double the claimed runtime. It keeps 31 joints, but the dexterous hands and the extra computer are only offered on EDU. The USD 25,400 standard version is therefore mainly for demonstrations: Unitree does not open secondary development on it.

What remains open

  • Availability. H2-X is not yet offered in Unitree’s online store, and no delivery has been announced.
  • Features on delivery. Unitree states that “some features are under development and will be released gradually”. The guarding and rescue scenes in the video do not describe what the robot will do on delivery.
  • Safety. The spec sheet asks users to keep a sufficient distance from people and strongly advises individuals to understand the limitations of humanoids before buying.
  • Europe. The price is in dollars, excluding tax and shipping. Nothing is said about delivery, VAT or after-sales service in Europe.

Our view: publishing a price changes what H2-X is. It is no longer just a video but an announced product, cheaper than H2. It remains to be seen when it will ship, with which features, and who will support it in Europe. For a research project, the EDU version is the one to price.
