Unitree H1-2 Specialized Intel Core I7 Computing Board

Ask a roboticist where a humanoid keeps its thinking, and the honest answer is not a laptop on a cable but a board inside the body. The Unitree H1-2 Specialized Intel Core I7 Computing Board is that kind of part: a computing board built into the robot body of the Unitree H1-2 humanoid, made for that machine and for no other.

The product is available through this page, by quotation.

Background

Unitree and the H1-2 humanoid

Unitree Robotics is known for legged and humanoid platforms that universities, laboratories and integrators use for research and development work. The H1-2 belongs to its humanoid line, and the line has grown a family of accessories and computing options around it, so that a team can fit the machine to the work it has in mind.

On the H1-2, computing is split by role. The robot has one Motion Control Computing Unit and one Development Computing Unit, with an option to configure an additional expansion unit. The first looks after the movement of the machine. The second is where a team does its own work. The expansion unit is the optional extra, and it is the place where a board like this one comes into the picture.

You can browse the wider family in our Unitree H1 / H1-2 category, and the parts that go around the robot in Humanoid Accessories.

Where this board fits

This board is not a stand-alone computer for a desk or a rack. It is an assembly that is built into the robot body, and up to 1 board can be built in. It is compatible with the Unitree H1-2 Humanoids. That is the whole of its positioning: one board, one robot family, installed inside the machine.

For a buyer, that makes the choice simple in one way and careful in another. It is simple because there is no long list of platforms to check against. It is careful because the board is part of how the robot is put together, so it deserves to be planned together with the robot and not treated as an afterthought.

Technical Specifications

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

The manufacturer has not published the processor model, the memory capacity, the storage capacity, the board dimensions, the board weight, the power consumption, the operating system or the connectivity ports; they are confirmed at quotation.

Why is the board built into the robot instead of added on afterward?

This product is a board that is built into the robot body. That tells us how the part is meant to be used. It is not a loose module that you carry between machines. It is part of the humanoid once it is installed.

There is a practical reading of this for anyone planning a project. A humanoid that already carries its computing inside has fewer things hanging off it. A team that wants more on-board computing for its own software has a defined place to put it. The design choice itself is clear: one assembly, inside the body, for the H1-2.

Should the board be purchased separately?

Purchasing the board separately is highly discouraged. Because the board is built into the robot body and is made for the H1-2 humanoids, the sensible moment to talk about it is when the robot itself is being specified.

If you already own an H1-2 and are thinking about more computing, or if you are about to order a robot and want to know what the computing options are, ask us before you decide. We will check the configuration with you as part of the quotation, so that you do not end up with a part that does not suit the machine you have.

Who is the Unitree H1-2 Specialized Intel Core I7 Computing Board for?

The first group is the research team that is buying or planning an H1-2 and wants to know how its computing is arranged. For these buyers, the board is part of the conversation about how much room the platform leaves for their own software. The robot already has a Motion Control Computing Unit and a Development Computing Unit, and an additional expansion unit can be configured, so the question is which combination suits the project.

The second group is the university or training lab. Humanoid platforms are expensive to share between students, and a lab will want to be sure that the configuration it orders is the one it will actually teach on. A clear package, one assembly per robot, makes that easier to plan.

The third group is the integrator or the company testing a humanoid for an application. These buyers care about what is inside the machine, because it decides what can be added later. For them, we suggest pairing this board with a look at the other H1-2 parts, such as the Unitree H1-2 Dexterous Hand, so the whole robot is specified at once.

If you work with a different robot, this board is not the right part. Owners of the H2 should look at the Unitree H2 Dedicated Intel Core i7 Computing Board Assembly instead, since this product is compatible with the Unitree H1-2 Humanoids.

What is the Unitree H1-2 Specialized Intel Core I7 Computing Board used for?

1. Adding on-board computing to an H1-2. The board is built into the robot body and gives the humanoid its computing board assembly.
2. Planning a robot configuration. Teams use it as one item when they decide how the H1-2 computing will be arranged, alongside the motion control and development units.
3. Research on humanoid platforms. Laboratories that study walking, manipulation and interaction need computing inside the machine, and this board is part of that picture.
4. Teaching robotics. Universities and training centers can use a fully equipped humanoid to show students how a real platform divides its computing work.
5. Application trials. Integrators testing humanoids for a task can specify the computing they want before the robot is delivered.
6. Expanding an existing setup. Owners who want to discuss an additional expansion unit can ask us to confirm the right assembly for their robot.
