Unitree H2 Plus NVIDIA Isaac GR00T reference
Unitree's NVIDIA-powered research humanoid — 75 DOF, Jetson Thor, Isaac GR00T, due late 2026
Overview
The Unitree H2 Plus is the humanoid robot at the centre of Unitree's partnership with NVIDIA, announced on 1 June 2026 as an NVIDIA Isaac GR00T reference design for academic robotics research. It pairs a 31-DOF Unitree H2 body with dual Sharpa Wave five-finger tactile hands (22 DOF each) for 75 total degrees of freedom, and runs on NVIDIA's Jetson AGX Thor T5000 — a Blackwell GPU delivering 2,070 FP4 teraflops with 128 GB of unified memory. Standing roughly 1.80 m and weighing about 68 kg, it offers up to 120 N·m of arm torque, 360 N·m of leg torque, a 7 kg rated arm payload (15 kg peak) and around 3 hours of runtime from a 0.972 kWh battery. The reference platform bundles NVIDIA's Isaac GR00T open software and models on top of Unitree's ROS2 ecosystem. The H2 Plus is listed at

Pros & Cons
Strengths
- 75 degrees of freedom — 31 in the body plus dual Sharpa Wave five-finger hands (22 DOF each), among the most dexterous humanoids announced
- NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor T5000 onboard: Blackwell GPU, 2,070 FP4 teraflops and 128 GB unified memory — flagship on-robot AI compute
- Ships as an open NVIDIA Isaac GR00T reference design — foundation models, simulation and SDK out of the box
- Tactile five-finger hands plus head stereo and wrist cameras geared for close-range manipulation
- Backed by the Unitree ROS2 ecosystem and a direct NVIDIA–Unitree research partnership
Weaknesses
- Listed at
00,000 for late-2026 availability — premium research pricing, and not yet purchasable - Aimed at academic and robotics research, not consumer buyers
- Max speed and full battery runtime under load not disclosed for the H2 Plus configuration
- All capability figures come from the manufacturer announcement — not independently tested
