Actuators & Sensors

  • High-torque self-developed quasi-direct-drive joint actuators.
  • Joint-level force-torque sensing for disturbance rejection.
  • Depth cameras, IMU and multi-point proprioceptive sensors.

Supply-Chain Analysis

  • H1's core joint actuators are fully self-developed by Unitree.
  • Harmonic reducers sourced from domestic Chinese suppliers including Leaderdrive (Green Harmonic).
  • Onboard compute supports third-party AI acceleration hardware.

Competitor Comparison

Versus Unitree G1: H1 is taller, larger and higher-torque but more expensive; G1 is compact and cost-optimized. Versus AgiBot A2: H1 excels at biped mobility while A2's strength lies in dexterous-hand manipulation.
