Brain layer 2 of 5

Chip

The computer inside the robot that runs it.

Intel Core i5Our estimateConfirmed

A mainstream Intel processor, the kind found in many laptops. Every H1 and H1-2 has a motion control computer built on an Intel Core i5-1235U with 8GB of memory. It runs only Unitree's own walking and balance software and is closed to users.

Part priceOur estimateUS$220 to US$230

Based on: Unitree has not named the chip, so this is not its price. It is Intel's recommended customer price for one current Core i5, the 14th-generation desktop i5-14400, shown for scale. Laptop and embedded versions are sold to computer companies, and their prices vary.

Intel Core i7Our estimateConfirmed

A faster Intel processor, the kind found in higher-end laptops. A second computer for the owner's own programs uses an Intel Core i7-1255U or i7-1265U with 16GB or 32GB of memory. A third one can be added as an option.

Part priceOur estimateUS$380 to US$400

Based on: Unitree has not named the chip, so this is not its price. It is Intel's recommended customer price for one current Core i7, the 14th-generation desktop i7-14700, shown for scale. Laptop and embedded versions are sold to computer companies, and their prices vary.

Jetson OrinIn storeListedUS$699Confirmed

A small, powerful computer made for running AI inside machines. Buyers can choose an Nvidia Jetson Orin NX, a small AI computer, in place of the Intel development computer. The H1-2 can carry up to three of these extra computers.

Part priceListedUS$699

The launch price of the Orin NX 16GB module on its own. Reports in 2026 say Nvidia has since raised Jetson prices sharply, with this module's volume price going from US$599 to US$999.

Single-unit store price. Robot companies buying in volume usually pay less.

Body

The motors, gears, hands and battery that make it move.

Unitree M107 joint motorIn-houseConfirmed

Unitree's own large joint motor for its full-size humanoid, rated at up to 360 N.m, with a hollow shaft and two position sensors. The H1 uses Unitree's own M107 joint motor, rated at up to 360 N.m of torque. It has a hollow shaft to save weight and two encoders, sensors that report the joint's exact position.

Unitree joint motorsIn-houseOur estimateConfirmed

Unitree's own brushless joint motors, each with two position sensors and a hollow shaft so wires run through the joint. The H1 has 19 joint motors: 5 per leg, 4 per arm and 1 in the waist. The H1-2 has 27: 6 per leg, 7 per arm and 1 in the waist. Unitree rates the knees at about 360 N.m, the hips at about 220 N.m and the H1 arms at about 75 N.m.

Unitree joint motorsTorque per jointIn-houseOur estimateConfirmed

Unitree's own brushless joint motors, each with two position sensors and a hollow shaft so wires run through the joint. Unitree's H1 model file caps the hips and waist at 200 N.m, the knees at 300 N.m, the ankles and upper shoulders at 40 N.m and the elbows at 18 N.m. Its training code names the M107-24-2 for hips and waist, the M107-24-1 for knees, and smaller GO2HV motors for ankles and arms.

Part priceOur estimate

Planetary gear reducerIn-houseOur estimateLikely

A compact gearbox where small gears circle a central gear, trading motor speed for more turning force. Unitree's prospectus says its joint modules pair its own motors with planetary reducers, compact gearboxes with teeth shaped to survive walking impacts, used across many of its robots.

Part priceOur estimate

Crossed roller bearingsOur estimateConfirmed

Joint output bearings with rollers set at right angles, so one bearing carries loads from every direction. Each H1 and H1-2 joint output sits on industrial-grade crossed roller bearings, chosen for precision and heavy loads.

Part priceOur estimateUS$130 to US$200

Based on: Robot companies do not sell the crossed roller bearings in their joints, and the one found in a G1 is a Luoyang Baina part with no public price, so this is not its price. It is the price of comparable branded crossed roller bearings a builder can buy one at a time, with a bore of 35 to 40 mm like the Baina CRBT355A. A crossed roller bearing has small rollers set at right angles to each other so one thin ring can carry loads from every direction; Chinese companies selling in bulk to robot companies likely charge much less.

H1 battery 15AhConfirmed

Unitree's 0.864 kWh, 67.2 V lithium pack for the H1 and H1-2, made to be swapped quickly. Both versions run on a 15Ah, 0.864 kWh battery that tops out at 67.2 V. Unitree says the H1 battery can be swapped quickly; the cell company is not named and the pack is not sold on Unitree's store.

Inspire five-finger handListedAbout US$3,100 or 22,000 yuan per handConfirmed

A five-finger robot hand with 6 motors, sold to robot companies by Inspire Robots of Beijing. The H1 can be fitted with Inspire Robots' RH56DFX hand, which has 6 motors moving 12 finger joints. Unitree's docs also cover Inspire's RH56DFTP hand with touch sensors, and its H1-2 model file includes it.

Part priceListedAbout US$3,100 or 22,000 yuan per hand

Inspire Robots does not publish this hand's price. China Post Securities' March 2026 teardown of the G1 gives its retail price as about 22,000 yuan per hand. The dollar figure is at about 7.2 yuan to the US dollar.

Single-unit store price. Robot companies buying in volume usually pay less.

Dex5-1 handH1-2Confirmed

Unitree's own five-finger robot hand, offered as an option on the H1-2. The H1-2 can take Unitree's own Dex5-1 hand or other hands that fit either side. Hands are optional, not standard.
