Manipulation and Perception

Seven-joint arms; optional dexterous hands. Rated arm load about 7 kg, peak about 21 kg; not a sustained two-arm payload.

3D LiDAR and depth camera.

SDK and Integration

Development access varies by edition. Public Unitree repositories do not grant development rights to base retail models.

API typeSDK and open-source examples
LanguagesC++, Python
ROS supportOfficial ROS 2 repository includes model examples; match firmware and joint configuration.
SimulationMuJoCo via unitree_mujoco, Gazebo via unitree_ros, Reinforcement learning via unitree_rl_gym
Offline operationLocal DDS control examples exist; complete offline application behavior unverified.
TeleoperationSDK-based developer workflows; exact supported hardware and access need confirmation.
Software updatesManufacturer OTA updates; signing and rollback details not reviewed.
DocumentationOpen documentation
Code examplesOpen repository
Integration constraintsSuitable only for serious engineering teams or integrators. Requires guarded pilot cell, robot-task risk assessment, safety-rated external controls and factory network isolation.

Safety Notes

Supplier notes the humanoid industry is still in an early exploration stage and asks users to comply with local laws and avoid hazardous use. Use only in controlled environments until validated.

Compliance and Certificates

StandardStatusJurisdictionEvidence
CE marking Unknown European Union No public product-specific CE certificate was verified on the official product page. Request declaration of conformity and complete safety documentation for H1-2.
ISO 10218 Requires buyer review International Full-size robot with meaningful payload and high joint torque. Factory deployment should be treated as industrial robot integration requiring risk assessment, safeguarding and validated stop behavior.
ISO/TS 15066 Requires buyer review International Only applicable for collaborative applications. High payload/torque makes unguarded shared-workspace use especially sensitive.
