Unitree H1

The Unitree H1 holds the world record for walking speed among production humanoid robots shipping in 2026, reaching an impressive 3.3 meters per second (about 12 km/h). This exceptional pace not only exceeds the comfortable jogging speed of most adults but also outperforms every other bipedal platform currently available for purchase. This speed is the H1's defining capability and its clearest differentiator from Unitree's own G1, which has a top speed of 2 m/s and is priced between $13,500 and $25,000. Where the G1 prioritizes price accessibility for developers and SMBs, the H1, estimated at $90,000, targets research institutions and robotics companies studying bipedal locomotion at the hardware frontier, offering 360 N·m of knee torque. Unitree's established supply chain, which shipped over 5,500 G1 units in 2025, ensures parts availability and support. The H1's acknowledged limitation is hand dexterity, using basic end-effectors unsuitable for precision assembly—a trade-off when compared to Figure 02's 16-DOF manipulation system.
