Unitree introduced on social media in the present day that it’s growing a humanoid robotic, constructing on its expertise in quadruped robotics. Unitree teased the H1 robotic within the video above.
Unitree is likely one of the main builders of quadrupeds and not too long ago launched the second technology of its Go2 quadruped. The corporate has developed and commercialized the mandatory leg mechanics and drive programs with its quadruped product line, doubtlessly giving it a leg up on its humanoid rivals. The corporate has additionally developed and field-tested the mandatory notion and locomotion algorithms that allow a quick growth path from quadrupeds to bipeds.
The H1 humanoid stands about 71 inches (1800mm) tall and weighs about 100 lbs (47kg). The robotic contains a high-torque joint motor and kit practice developed internally at Unitree. For notion, the robotic features a 3D LiDAR sensor and a depth digital camera. The leg joints are 5 levels of freedom (DOF) and the arms are 4 DOF. The preliminary pictures of the robotic don’t embrace any arms, solely a cushioned nub on the finish of the arm. The corporate is teasing that the arms are in growth.
No date for an official launch was introduced but. Nonetheless, the video claims the robotic shall be commercially obtainable within the subsequent 3-10 years. In line with Unitree, the worth of the H1 is predicted to be under $90,000.

With the humanoid announcement, Unitree joins a rising variety of high-profile robotics firms within the race to develop a multi-purpose humanoid. We shall be discussing the state of humanoids within the opening keynote panel of RoboBusiness 2023. The dialogue will function Geordie Rose, co-founder and CEO of Sanctuary, Jeff Cardenas, co-founder and CEO of Apptronik, and Jonathan Hurst, co-founder and chief robotic officer of Agility Robotics. The panel will share firsthand insights into the challenges and alternatives that lie forward and focus on the industries poised to be early adopters of those outstanding creations.
