Unitree H2 Plus ULTIMATE-D Humanoid Robot

A humanoid's legs and its fingertips ask for opposite things. The legs must carry a full-size body and absorb every step, while the fingers must hold a component without crushing it. The Unitree H2 Plus ULTIMATE-D Humanoid Robot puts both demands into one frame: leg joints rated to 360 Nm below, DEX5-1 hands delivering 10 N at each fingertip above, and an NVIDIA Jetson Thor T5000 module in between, deciding how much force each moment calls for. It is a platform for teams whose questions sit precisely on that boundary between strength and restraint.

Robots Middle East supplies the Unitree H2 Plus ULTIMATE-D Humanoid Robot to research institutions, universities, system integrators and corporate innovation teams across the Middle East. We prepare the quotation for your chosen configuration, arrange delivery to your site and remain your point of contact for technical support once the robot is in service.

Background

Unitree Robotics and the H2 line

Unitree Robotics built its reputation on legged robots, first with quadrupeds and later with humanoid platforms that research groups can purchase, deploy and programme rather than merely watch in demonstrations. The H2 line is the company's full-size humanoid family, and the H2 Plus variants combine a common body with different hand and computing packages. The sources name seven versions: the H2 PLUS SMART and the ULTIMATE configurations A (DEX1-1 Plus), B (DEX3-1), C (DEX3-1 Tactile), D (DEX5-1), E (DEX5-1P Tactile) and N (Sharpa Wave). In each ULTIMATE case, the letter indicates which end effector is fitted to the arms. You can see the wider family in our Unitree H2 Plus category.

The ULTIMATE D configuration

The D configuration fits Unitree's DEX5-1 hand to each arm. Each hand offers 16 degrees of freedom and 10 N of fingertip force, and is intended for advanced five-finger manipulation without tactile feedback. Behind the hands sits the computing stack that defines the ULTIMATE tier: an NVIDIA Jetson Thor T5000 module rated at up to 2070 TFLOPS sparse FP4, 128 GB of LPDDR5X memory on a 256-bit bus at 273 GB/s, and two separate Intel processors, a Core i5 for platform functions and a Core i7 reserved for user development. The software platform is built on NVIDIA Isaac GROOT, NVIDIA's framework for humanoid robot foundation models, which places the robot within a toolchain many research teams already use for training and deploying learned behaviours.

Technical Specifications

Unitree has not published the maximum walking speed, the IP rating, the operating system, the contents of the box or whether a lidar is fitted, and we confirm each of these points with you at quotation.

What does the DEX5-1 hand change for manipulation work?

A humanoid is only as capable as the last link in its arm. With 16 degrees of freedom per hand, the DEX5-1 gives each finger enough independent articulation to form the grasps that simpler grippers cannot: pinching a small part, wrapping around a cylindrical handle, or repositioning an object within the palm. The 10 N available at each fingertip is a deliberate scale, sufficient for handling tools, containers and components, yet modest enough for researchers to study controlled, gentle contact.

Because the DEX5-1 provides no tactile feedback, contact is understood through vision and proprioception rather than touch. That is where the sensor arrangement matters. The head-mounted stereo camera covers a horizontal field of 140° ±3° with a global shutter, which avoids the distortion rolling shutters introduce during fast motion, while the wrist cameras watch the hand at close range as it approaches an object. Combined with the IMU and the joint data from the 31 body degrees of freedom, this gives a learning pipeline a rich visual picture of every grasp.

The arms themselves support the hands with a maximum joint torque of 120 Nm and an arm payload of approximately 7 kg nominal, rising to 15 kg at peak. For many laboratory and pilot tasks, that range covers the objects a person would lift with one hand in daily work.

How does the ULTIMATE D compare with other H2 Plus configurations?

Across the ULTIMATE range, the distinguishing element is the hand. The A configuration carries the DEX1-1 Plus, the B and C configurations use the DEX3-1 (C adding tactile sensing), the E configuration fits the DEX5-1P Tactile, and the N configuration uses the Sharpa Wave hand. The ULTIMATE D sits in the five-finger, vision-led position: the most articulated hand family in the line, without the tactile layer that the E configuration's name indicates.

The hand figures in our table apply to the DEX5-1 alone and should not be read across to any sibling. The published weight also excludes the hand configuration, so the final mass of each version depends on the hands fitted. If tactile data is central to your research, the choice between D and E deserves a detailed conversation before ordering, and we prepare both options side by side on request.

Who is the Unitree H2 Plus ULTIMATE-D Humanoid Robot for?

The first audience is university and institutional research groups working on dexterous manipulation, imitation learning and foundation models for robots. For them, the combination of a highly articulated hand, a dedicated development processor and an Isaac GROOT software base means less time assembling infrastructure and more time on the research question itself.

The second audience is system integrators and corporate innovation teams evaluating humanoids for real workplaces. The broad interface panel, with Gigabit Ethernet, GMSL, RS-485 and CAN connections, allows additional sensors and tools to be integrated, while the remote emergency stop supports supervised trials in shared spaces.

Not every buyer needs five-finger hands. Teams focused on locomotion, perception or simpler pick-and-place may find the Unitree H2 Plus ULTIMATE A Humanoid Robot or the Unitree H2 Plus ULTIMATE-B Humanoid Robot a closer match, and those who do not require the full ULTIMATE package can compare the Unitree H2 Plus SMART Humanoid Robot. The Unitree H2 Plus Humanoid Robot page gives an overview of the platform as a whole.

What is the Unitree H2 Plus ULTIMATE-D Humanoid Robot used for?

1. Dexterous manipulation research: studying in-hand repositioning and multi-finger grasps with a highly articulated hand.
2. Foundation model development: training and deploying learned behaviours on an NVIDIA Isaac GROOT software base.
3. Simulation-to-reality transfer: validating policies trained virtually against real objects, lighting and contact.
4. Industrial pilot programmes: evaluating humanoid handling of tools, parts and containers in workshops and assembly areas.
5. Teaching and demonstration: giving postgraduate students hands-on experience with a full-size humanoid and its development stack.
6. Sensor and tool integration: connecting additional cameras and devices through the robot's extensive interface panel.

What AI computing does the robot carry?

It carries an NVIDIA Jetson Thor T5000 module with up to 2070 TFLOPS sparse FP4 and 128 GB of LPDDR5X memory. An Intel Core i5 handles platform functions and an Intel Core i7 is reserved for user development.

How long does it run on one battery?

The runtime is approximately 3 hours. The battery is a removable 15 Ah, 0.972 kWh smart battery, which allows a charged unit to be exchanged for continued operation.

Can my team develop its own software for it?

Yes, secondary development is supported. The dedicated Intel Core i7 and the NVIDIA Isaac GROOT software platform give developers a separate environment for their own code.

Which sensors are fitted?

The robot has a head-mounted stereo camera with a wide field of view, wrist cameras and an IMU. The head camera covers HFOV 140° ±3° and VFOV 102° ±3° with a global shutter.

What safety provision does it include?

Where can I buy the Unitree H2 Plus ULTIMATE-D Humanoid Robot and what does it cost?

You can buy it from Robots Middle East, which supplies it across the Middle East. The cost depends on your configuration and support requirements, so we provide it through a personal quotation.

Summary

The Unitree H2 Plus ULTIMATE-D Humanoid Robot is defined by its balance of power and restraint: legs and arms with substantial joint torque, hands built for delicate five-finger work, and a Jetson Thor computing core to govern the transition between the two.
