Unitree Unveils H2 Plus Humanoid Built on NVIDIA Isaac GR00T Platform

Unitree Robotics has introduced the H2 Plus humanoid robot, built on the NVIDIA Isaac GR00T development platform, according to a press release. The reference design integrates Unitree’s H2 humanoid chassis, Sharpa Wave five-finger hands, and NVIDIA Jetson Thor compute to provide a unified system for academic and research use.

The H2 Plus stands nearly six feet tall, weighs about 150 pounds, and features 31 degrees of freedom across the body. With the addition of dual Sharpa Wave hands, the robot reaches 75 degrees of freedom in total. It includes a stereo camera for wide field of view sensing, wrist cameras for close manipulation, and an inertia measurement unit for motion tracking. The system supports whole-body control with significant torque capacity in arms and legs, enabling payloads up to 15 kilograms.

The onboard NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor T5000 provides up to 2,070 FP4 teraflops of AI performance with a 14-core Arm CPU and 128GB of unified memory. Connectivity options include Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, and USB, along with microphones and speakers for voice interaction. The robot operates for about three hours on a 15Ah battery and includes an emergency stop function.

The Isaac GR00T platform offers simulation, training, and deployment tools for humanoid development. It includes modules such as Isaac Teleop for data capture, Isaac Sim and Isaac Lab for simulation and testing, and Isaac ROS middleware for transferring trained policies to robots. The same platform will also support the Unitree G1 humanoid. Unitree stated that H2 Plus will be available in late 2026, with development resources expected to appear soon on GitHub and Hugging Face.
