| Hands | Official A2 page lists dexterous hands as part of the robot configuration; no hand-only DoF count was found beyond the 40+ active DoF system claim. | The H1 ships without hands: launch images showed only a cushioned nub at the end of each 4-DoF arm, and Unitree lists a dexterous hand as 'Optional'. The H1-2 supports optional Dex5-1 or other ambidextrous hands. Research users added wrists, hands and head cameras themselves. |

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
