## Summary

The Unitree H2 (from Unitree Robotics, Hangzhou) is a full-size humanoid, the successor to the H1, and one of the rare Chinese humanoids with a verified, openly-published consumer price: $29,900 (China-direct, ex-customs). It has 31 degrees of freedom (up from the H1's 27): a new 3-DoF waist, 7-DoF arms, a quasi-serial leg and foot redesign, and a bio-inspired animated face new to the H-series. It is about 1.82 meters and 70 kilograms with battery, with a roughly 3-hour battery, Intel Core i5/i7 base compute (an EDU variant offers NVIDIA Jetson), and a walking speed under 2 meters per second, down from the H1's roughly 3.3, trading speed for dexterity. DEPLOY records it at commercial maturity (for-sale with a published price), not production (no fleet-scale deployment). A critical cap-flag: the H2's marquee demos (dance, boxing, gala performances) are choreographed or teleoperated (via a control rig or Apple Vision Pro), not verified-autonomous; autonomy is the goal, not the present state. The $29,900 is a China-direct ex-customs price, not a US landed price, and the '2070 TOPS' figure is the optional EDU Jetson, not the base unit.

## Specs

- **notes**: [{"label":"Distinctness vs H1 (warrants a separate model)","value":"Genuine hardware step over H1, not a re-skin: 31 DoF vs 27, new 3-DoF waist, 7-DoF arms vs 4, quasi-serial legs, animated face. Distinct registry model from unitree-h1 and unitree-g1."},{"label":"Maturity = commercial (cap-flag)","value":"Openly purchasable on Unitree's own storefront with a published price ($29,900 China-direct) and stated Q2 2026 dealer shipping; Unitree already sells G1/H1 commercially. NOT 'production' in the fleet/at-scale sense - no large operational deployments; sales are unit purchases to researchers/integrators."},{"label":"AI / autonomy (cap-flag - the cohort's editorial point)","value":"The marquee H2 demos (dance, boxing, martial arts, runway walk, 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala) are choreographed and/or TELEOPERATED, NOT verified-autonomous task execution. Teleoperation (control rig or Apple Vision Pro) is Unitree's stated bridge technology; autonomy is the goal, not the present state. The official page ships a manual controller + OTA-updatable motion-control but does NOT claim general task autonomy. Record as a capable motion/hardware platform; do NOT assert autonomous task capability (manufacturer capability language = claimed input)."},{"label":"Spec cap-flags (aggregator drift)","value":"$29,900 is the China-direct, ex-customs price (dealer/EDU figures e.g. ~$68,900 are reseller-set, not Unitree's published price). The '2070 TOPS' figure is the OPTIONAL NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor on the EDU variant, not the base config. Unveiling (Oct 2025), dealer shipping (Q2 2026), and the Gala appearance (Feb 2026) are distinct dates that aggregators conflate."}]
