The Unitree B1 is an industrial-grade quadruped robot designed for demanding applications in agriculture, industrial operations, security patrols, surveys, exploration, and public rescue. With its IP67/IP68 waterproof rating, the B1 operates reliably in all-weather conditions including heavy rain and water immersion up to 1.2 meters. The robot features exceptional load capacity with a maximum standing payload of 80 kg and continuous walking load of 20 kg, making it suitable for cargo delivery and logistics in challenging terrain. Equipped with 12 degrees of freedom (3 per leg), advanced force control technology, and five Intel RealSense D430 depth cameras, the B1 demonstrates superior obstacle-crossing abilities, can climb stairs with 20 cm step heights, traverse slopes up to 35 degrees, and achieve speeds of 1.2-1.8 m/s. Its industrial-grade servo motors deliver 210 Nm maximum torque at the knee joints, enabling complex movements including jumps and backflips. The B1 combines durability, mobility, and computational power through its Intel i5-1135G7 processor and three Jetson Xavier NX platforms, making it a versatile solution for industrial automation and emergency response scenarios.

Superman

Superman

By: Unitree Robotics

Launched: 2026

Unitree Superman is a high-performance bipedal humanoid prototype focused on extreme locomotion rather than general-purpose service work. It was introduced as a compact, fast-moving humanoid with a reported 0.85 m leg length, a standing vertical jump of about 2 meters, and a top running speed of 12.66 m/s, emphasizing dynamic balance and leg power over payload-heavy manipulation. Its design strongly suggests a research-oriented platform for motion-control benchmarking, athletic mobility demonstrations, and advanced humanoid development. Like Unitree’s other humanoids, it likely uses a lightweight frame, high-torque electric joints, and onboard sensing for balance and navigation. The robot appears aimed at pushing locomotion limits first, with manipulation and interaction capabilities secondary to its mobility performance.

Unitree H2 Plus

By: Unitree Robotics

Launched: 2026

Unitree H2 Plus is a full-size bipedal humanoid designed for industrial-grade motion, human-like interaction, and developer-oriented research. It combines a 182 cm class standing height, 31 degrees of freedom, and high-torque joints with an expressive bionic head, making it suitable for locomotion, manipulation, and demo-grade social presence. The platform emphasizes dynamic balance, OTA-evolving motion control, and AI computing up to Jetson AGX Thor class performance. With a quick-release battery and around 3 hours of runtime, it is aimed at tasks that require agile walking, upper-body dexterity, and repeatable whole-body motions in controlled environments.

Unitree H1-2

Unitree H1-2

By: Unitree Robotics

Launched: 2024

The Unitree H1-2 is a full-size humanoid robot standing 178 cm tall with human-like proportions, optimized for advanced mobility, balance, and whole-body coordination. Featuring 27 degrees of freedom powered by high-torque M107 joint motors, it achieves walking speeds up to 2 m/s and potential mobility over 5 m/s, enabling agile navigation on complex terrains, stairs, and uneven surfaces. Equipped with 360Β° 3D LiDAR and depth cameras for precise environmental perception, it supports autonomous walking, running, jumping, and manipulation tasks like grasping objects with 5-finger hands. Each 7-DOF arm lifts up to 7 kg, while legs provide robust stability for dynamic motions including dancing and handshakes. Designed for research and development, the H1-2 integrates Intel Core i7 computing, swappable 864 Wh batteries for 2-hour runtime, and ROS-compatible software, making it ideal for AI training, human-robot interaction, and industrial prototyping in indoor-outdoor settings.
