Unitree H2 EDU SMART G Humanoid Robot

Buying a humanoid for a laboratory is rarely about the robot alone; it is about what you can change once it arrives. The Unitree H2 EDU SMART G Humanoid Robot answers that with an EDU body that supports secondary development, algorithms that keep evolving over the air, and a pair of touch-sensing hands fitted for manipulation work.

The product is available through this page, by quotation.

Background

Unitree Robotics and the H2 line

Unitree Robotics builds legged and humanoid robots that are used in research, teaching and applied development. The H2 family is its full-size humanoid line. It includes the base H2, the H2 EDU, the H2 EDU STANDARD, and a series of lettered SMART packages that differ mainly in the hands they carry. The SMART G is the one fitted with BrainCo Revo 2 Touch hands.

The EDU designation matters. Secondary development is supported on the H2 EDU and not on the base H2, so the EDU is the version for teams that want to write their own software rather than run what ships. If you are weighing the wider family, the Unitree H2 EDU category shows the related configurations side by side.

Positioning and key technology

The H2 EDU body is built around low inertia, high-speed internal rotor PMSM joint motors (permanent magnet synchronous motors), chosen for better response speed and heat dissipation. The platform lists 31 degrees of freedom in the base body, a wide-field humanoid binocular camera, an array microphone with a high-power speaker for voice interaction, and WiFi 6 with Bluetooth 5.2.

Computing is split in two. PC1 is an Intel Core i5 for platform capabilities, and PC2 is an Intel Core i7 for custom development. A high-power computing module is also offered in multiple brands and models, such as Thor. The SMART G adds two five-finger BrainCo Revo 2 Touch hands with wrist-mounted RGB cameras, so the robot sees its work from the wrist as well as from the head.

Technical Specifications

Specifications as published by the manufacturer; confirmed against the datasheet at quotation. The manufacturer has not published the top walking speed, the IP rating, the operating temperature, the total weight of the SMART G configuration, the camera resolution or the charging time; they are confirmed at quotation.

What makes the SMART G different from the standard H2 EDU?

The body, the compute and the development support belong to the H2 EDU. The EDU lists a dexterous hand with multiple model options, and the SMART G is the lettered package that fills that slot with the BrainCo Revo 2 Touch. Each hand has 6 DoF and weighs 383 g, and its tactile feedback covers pressure, friction, direction and proximity.

That sensing changes what a manipulation experiment can measure. A hand that reports pressure and friction gives a researcher data about grip, not only about position. Proximity sensing and the wrist-mounted RGB cameras add information about what is approaching the fingers before contact is made.

The weight of about 70kg and the 1820 x 456 x 218mm dimensions describe the H2 EDU body, and the SMART G builds on that body with its own hands.

What does the SMART G offer over other hand options?

The H2 EDU family includes packages with other hands, such as the Unitree H2 EDU SMART A Humanoid Robot, the Unitree H2 EDU SMART B Humanoid Robot and the Unitree H2 EDU SMART D Humanoid Robot. Their hand figures belong to those versions and are not applied to this one.

The SMART G is the package to look at when touch is the point of the project. Its distinguishing features are the five fingers, the tactile channels and the cameras at the wrist. If your work needs a different hand, a sibling package may suit better.

Who is the Unitree H2 EDU SMART G for?

University laboratories and research groups are the clearest buyers. They gain a humanoid they can program, with the second computer reserved for custom development and an optional high-power module for heavier workloads.

Teaching programs benefit from a platform that combines walking, voice interaction and hand work in one machine. Students can move from the manual controller to their own code on the same robot.

Integrators and industrial development teams can use the SMART G to prototype handling tasks where grip quality matters, such as delicate or irregular objects. Teams that do not need touch-sensing hands may prefer another lettered package, and the category page lists them.

It is not the right choice for buyers who want a fixed, sealed product with no development. The base H2 does not support secondary development, so the EDU line exists for those who do.

What is the Unitree H2 EDU SMART G used for?

1. Dexterous manipulation research: study grasping with pressure, friction, direction and proximity feedback from both hands.
2. Teleoperation and demonstration data: use the wrist cameras and the head camera to capture how a task looks from several viewpoints.
3. Algorithm development: write and test your own control and perception software on the EDU platform.
4. Human-robot interaction: use the array microphone and high-power speaker to build voice-driven behavior.
5. Teaching robotics: give students a full-size humanoid for coursework in locomotion, control and manipulation.
6. Payload handling trials: evaluate carrying and placing tasks within the arm payload of peak ~15 kg and rated ~7 kg.

Pricing and Availability

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the battery capacity and how long does it last?

The H2 EDU battery is 15Ah (0.972KWh), with a battery life of about 3h. The battery is a quick-release Smart Battery.

How many degrees of freedom does the robot have?

The H2 EDU base body has 31 degrees of freedom in total. Each Revo 2 Touch hand on the SMART G has 6 DoF.

What can the arms carry?

The arm maximum payload is a peak of about 15 kg and a rated load of about 7 kg. Maximum arm joint torque is 120N.m.

Can I develop my own software?

Yes. Secondary development is supported on the EDU, and algorithms evolve continuously via OTA updates.

What sensors does it carry?

It has a humanoid binocular camera with a wide field of view and an array microphone with a high-power speaker. On the SMART G, the hands add wrist-mounted RGB cameras and tactile sensing.

What is included with the robot?

The listed accessories are a Smart Battery (Quick Release), a charger and a manual controller. Hands and compute options depend on the chosen configuration.

Where can I buy the Unitree H2 EDU SMART G Humanoid Robot and what does it cost?

You can request it through this page, by quotation. We do not print a price here; the cost depends on the configuration and is given in the quotation.

Summary

What you can change after delivery matters most, and the SMART G is built for that. It gives you an EDU body open to your own development, OTA algorithm updates, two computers, and BrainCo Revo 2 Touch hands that report how an object is being held.
