Timeline
PRODUCT LAUNCH (21 Aug 2024) — 'Unitree H1 humanoid robot launched for immediate purchase, disrupting robotics field': one of the first commercially available full-size humanoid platforms; 1.8m tall, 19 DoF, walking/balancing/basic manipulation out of the box; pricing and open availability signal push to democratize humanoid hardware.
Research
PAPER (21 Nov 2024) — 'Learning Humanoid Locomotion with Perceptive Internal Model': unlike quadrupeds using blind policies, humanoids need accurate perception for stable locomotion due to high DoF and unstable morphology, but perceptual signals can introduce disturbances reducing robustness; explicitly tied to H1 (high confidence), adds product-linked research coverage in locomotion and perception.
