Unitree H2 Dedicated Dex1-1 Gripper Advanced Edition — Single Unit

Between a paper cup and a steel bracket lies most of the difficulty of robotic grasping. Close too softly and the bracket slips; close too hard and the cup folds. The Unitree H2 Dedicated Dex1-1 Gripper Advanced Edition — Single Unit is designed to work across that span. Its gripping force can be set anywhere from 5~120N, its fingertip position resolution is 0.1mm, and this Advanced Edition adds a 1080P camera, so the H2 humanoid can see the object while the jaws are still open. It is a single end effector for teams who value a dependable, controllable gripper over the complexity of a multi-fingered hand.

Robots Middle East supplies this gripper to universities, research institutes, system integrators and industrial users throughout the Middle East. Our team prepares the quotation, checks that the configuration matches your H2 platform, arranges delivery to your site and remains your point of contact for technical support once the gripper is in service.

Background

Unitree Robotics and the H2 platform

Unitree Robotics is known for legged robots, first quadrupeds and later full-sized humanoids, and has built a reputation for platforms that research and development teams can work with directly. The H2 is one of its humanoid robots. Around it Unitree has developed a range of dedicated accessories: end effectors, batteries and charging equipment designed specifically for that platform rather than adapted from other robots. The Dex1-1 gripper belongs to this group. You will find it alongside the other components in our H2 Accessories category.

A dedicated accessory matters on a humanoid. The wrist, the power system and the control bus are all shared with the rest of the robot, so an end effector made for the H2 removes much of the mechanical and electrical adaptation that a third-party gripper would require.

A gripper that sees: where the Advanced Edition sits

Unitree names three versions of the Dex1-1: the Standard Version, the Advanced Version (with Camera) and the Ultimate Edition. The mechanical and electrical figures are given for the Dex1-1 series as a whole. The camera is listed under the Advanced Version specifically. It records at 1080P at 30 or 60 frames per second, with a wide field of view of H:118° V:87° D:140°.

On the control side, the gripper communicates over High-speed 485 at a baud rate of 6Mbps, with a control frequency of 1000Hz. That combination suits closed-loop work, in which position and force commands are updated continuously while the jaws move. It is the kind of control that vision-guided grasping and learning-based manipulation depend on.

Technical Specifications

Specifications are as published by the manufacturer and are confirmed against the datasheet at quotation.

The manufacturer has not published the camera sensor model, the IP rating, the cable length, details of the software SDK, the dimensions of the camera module or the total weight with the camera fitted; we confirm these points with you at quotation.

What does the Advanced Edition add to the Dex1-1 series?

What sets this edition apart is its camera. Because the mechanical figures are given for the whole series, the stroke, force range, speed range and grasp loads are the same as those Unitree states for the Dex1-1 generally. What the Advanced Version adds is a view from the hand itself. A head-mounted camera on a humanoid often loses sight of an object in the final centimetres of an approach, because the arm and the gripper block the line of sight. A camera on the gripper keeps the target in frame at exactly that moment.

The field of view is wide: 118° horizontally, 87° vertically and 140° diagonally. As a result, the camera sees both the object and much of its surroundings, which helps with alignment and with judging clearance. The choice of 30 or 60 frames per second gives integrators a trade-off. The lower rate reduces data load for logging and dataset collection. The higher rate gives smoother feedback for faster motions.

The Ultimate Edition is also named by the manufacturer. If you are weighing it against the Advanced Version, our team will compare the two with you.

How much can the Dex1-1 gripper actually hold?

Unitree gives two grasp load figures, and the difference between them is instructive. In a form-fitting grasp, the jaws enclose the object's shape so that the geometry carries the load, and the stated figure is 20kg. In a friction grasp, the object is held only by the squeezing force against its surfaces, and the figure is 5kg. In practice, this means that a part with a shoulder, a handle or a recess the jaws can wrap around can be held far more securely than a smooth block of the same mass. Fixtures and fingertips designed with form-fitting in mind make the most of the mechanism.

Range of motion and speed complete the picture. The stroke is 90mm and the jaws are 80mm long, so the gripper accepts objects of a useful range of sizes. Closing speed can be adjusted from 50~375 mm/s, and a full stroke can close in as little as 0.24s. Combined with the adjustable force of 5~120N and a motor peak torque of 5N.m, this lets the same gripper approach fragile laboratory items slowly and gently, then switch to quick, firm closures for robust parts in repetitive trials.

Who is the Unitree H2 Dedicated Dex1-1 Gripper Advanced Edition for?

The clearest fit is research groups working on vision-guided manipulation and embodied AI on the H2. For these teams, a camera at the point of contact and a 1000Hz control loop are working tools rather than extras. Teleoperation and dataset collection projects benefit in the same way, because every grasp can be recorded from the hand's own perspective.

System integrators evaluating the H2 for handling tasks will appreciate a gripper whose behaviour is simple to model: one stroke, adjustable force and speed, and stated grasp loads. Universities and training centres gain an end effector that students can programme and understand quickly. Industrial teams running pilot studies can test realistic part handling before committing to a wider deployment.

Some projects need fingers rather than jaws, for example in-hand reorientation, tool use or human-like grasp studies. Those teams may be better served by a multi-fingered hand, such as the Unitree H2-Dedicated Dex3-1 Force-Controlled Three-Finger Dexterous Hand — Single Unit or the Unitree H2-Dedicated BrainCo Revo 2 Basic Dexterous Hand — Single Unit (Left or Right). End effectors for other platforms are gathered in our Humanoid Accessories category.

What is the Unitree H2 Dedicated Dex1-1 Gripper Advanced Edition used for?

1. Vision-guided pick-and-place: the camera on the hand keeps the object in view during the final approach and closure.
2. Grasp learning and dataset collection: first-person video of each grasp feeds imitation-learning and reinforcement-learning pipelines.
3. Teleoperation: remote operators see what the gripper sees, which makes precise placement easier.
4. Logistics and handling trials: adjustable force and speed let one gripper handle both delicate and robust items in evaluation runs.
5. Teaching and training: a single-stroke gripper gives students an accessible introduction to humanoid manipulation and control.
6. Close-range visual checks: the wide field of view lets the robot confirm orientation and placement of a part before it releases it.

Summary

The paper cup and the steel bracket call for different hands, and the Dex1-1 Advanced Edition handles both through control rather than complexity. Its force and speed are adjustable, its fingertip resolution is fine, and its grasp loads favour form-fitting fixtures. The camera lets the H2 watch the grasp as it happens. For research groups, integrators and educators across the Middle East who want a straightforward gripper that also sees, this page is the starting point.
