There are 31 DoF: 6 per leg, 7 per arm, 3 at the waist and 2 in the head. Dexterous hands are optional in several models.","Peak joint torque is 360 Nm in the legs and 120 Nm in the arms. Arm payload is about 7 kg rated and about 15 kg peak. Thigh plus calf length is 1045 mm and the arm is 690 mm long. The structure combines aircraft-grade aluminium, titanium alloy and engineering plastics.","A quick-release 15 Ah (0.972 kWh) battery gives about three hours. Standard compute is two PCs, an Intel Core i5 for platform functions and an i7 for custom development, with an optional high-power module such as NVIDIA Thor; Unitree mentions a 2070 TOPS chip."]},{"h":"Software and AI","p":["Unitree pitches the H2 as a platform for running a range of AI models and for precise motion replication, with control algorithms updated over the air. The EDU version allows custom software development and carries a 12-month warranty (8 months for the standard version)."]},{"h":"Use cases and deployments","p":["Like Unitree's other humanoids, the H2 is aimed mainly at research, AI development, demos and pilot projects.
