Unitree H1 vs Unitree H2
Verdict
A generational contest between the big Unitrees. The H1 (2023, 180 cm, 47 kg) was a record-breakingly fast walker (up to 3.3 m/s) with 23 degrees of freedom; the H2 (2025, 182 cm, 70 kg) adds mass, 31 degrees of freedom and a bigger battery (0.97 vs 0.86 kWh). Facts vs hype: the H1 remains an exceptionally agile lighter platform, the H2 is the sturdier and more dexterous successor.
