Current evidence comparison for 1X EVE and Unitree H1.
1X EVE
1X Technologies
1X EVE is a wheeled humanoid from 1X Technologies (Norway/US) with a self-balancing wheeled base, 188 cm, 87 kg, 15 kg payload, 4 m/s top speed, and 6-hour official runtime. It is designed for security, logistics, and embodied AI data collection, with 25 DoF, 1-DoF grippers, HDR cameras, and shared autonomy. The strongest evidence is an Inverse-reported 2024 multi-robot voice-command office-tidying demo and directory claims of unnamed customer deployments since 2022; the weakest areas are no named customer metrics, no price, conflicting specs, and no independent autonomy verification. EVE is older than 1X's NEO and current availability is unclear
Unitree H1
Unitree Robotics
The Unitree H1 is a full-size bipedal humanoid (about 180 cm, about 47 kg, 18 DoF by Unitree's per-limb counts, 864 Wh swappable battery) sold mainly to research labs through quote-based sales: Unitree's store shows a $90,000 'contact us' anchor and a European distributor lists it from EUR 93,496 excluding VAT. Its strongest public evidence is locomotion and spectacle, including a company-claimed 3.3 m/s record, 1500 m and 400 m golds at the 2025 World Humanoid Robot Games (6:34.40 and 1:28.03) and a second source crediting four track golds, a choreographed 16-robot national broadcast performance, and a company-claimed 10.1 m/s peak from a modified ~62 kg unit. Manipulation is weak: the stock robot ships without hands and with 4-DoF arms, and the manipulation literature (Stanford HumanPlus, CMU H2O) used heavily modified units. Unitree publishes no payload, runtime, failure-rate or deployment metrics; autonomy is asserted for walking and running only; third-party runtime figures conflict (1 h versus 2 h) and no independent benchmark or safety certification exists
