DEPLOY classifies humanoids by how close they are to a real consumer purchase. The H1 sits in the research-tools cohort: orderable, but as developer hardware on a contact-sales basis, not a consumer-home product.
⚠
Unlike the G1 and R1, the H1's price is a contact-sales reference ('contact us for the real price'), not an executable checkout price. DEPLOY tags it a manufacturer target to reflect that you cannot simply add it to a cart.
These are Unitree's published reference figures on a contact-sales basis ('contact us for the real price'), not an executable checkout price like the G1 or R1. The H1 is a higher-end research and developer platform; the H1-2 variant, with upgraded 7-degree-of-freedom arms, sits at the top of the range. The price above is tagged a manufacturer target to reflect the contact-sales mechanism.
Availability
Waitlist only
The H1 is ordered through Unitree on a contact-sales basis: you contact Unitree for pricing and configuration. It ships as research and developer hardware, not a consumer home appliance.
Real-world status
The H1 is Unitree's higher-end humanoid (the standard H1 and the upgraded H1-2 with 7-degree-of-freedom arms), positioned for research and development like the G1 and R1, not consumer-home use.
✔
The H1 is real, orderable Unitree developer hardware: the standard H1 and the upgraded H1-2 (7-degree-of-freedom arms) at the top of the range, sold to labs, universities, and developers.
💡
Even at the top of Unitree's range, the H1 undercuts most Western humanoids: a higher-end research humanoid from about $90,000 reflects the same Chinese price pressure that the G1 and R1 apply at the low end.
Who is the H1 for?
The H1 is Unitree's higher-end research and developer humanoid, sold on a contact-sales basis to labs, universities, and developers rather than as a finished consumer product. It is the more capable, more expensive sibling of the G1 and R1; like them, it is developer hardware, not a household appliance.
