Unitree Robotics, a recognized leader in advanced robotics innovation, presents the H2 EDU Smart E — a full-size, 182 cm humanoid robot that represents the pinnacle of dexterous manipulation capability in the H2 EDU series. This model, part of the H2 EDU Smart line, is engineered for the most demanding research in embodied AI, advanced manipulation, and human-robot interaction.

Building on the foundation of the H2 EDU Standard, the Smart E variant is equipped with two Dex5-1P Dexterous Hands featuring advanced tactile sensing. Each hand builds upon the 16 active degrees of freedom of the Dex5-1 platform (thumb: 4 DOF, index/middle/ring/little: 3 DOF each) and adds an extensive tactile sensor array with 12 array sensors per hand, totaling 94 pressure sensors. The array configuration includes 2×5 sensors on the palm, 2×3 sensors on each finger pad (×5 fingers), 2×3 sensors on each fingertip (×5 fingers), and 2×3 sensors on each finger base (×4 fingers). This comprehensive tactile feedback enables unprecedented sensitivity and precision for complex manipulation tasks.

The tactile sensors feature a sensing range of 10g to 2500g with a maximum non-destructive force of 20kg, delivering rich haptic feedback for delicate object handling, texture recognition, and force-sensitive tasks. Each hand also includes a wrist-mounted RGB camera with a 130° field of view and 1920 x 1080 resolution for enhanced visual perception during fine manipulation tasks.

The H2 EDU Smart E features a total of 63 degrees of freedom (6 per leg, 7 per arm, 3 at the waist, 2 at the head, and 16 per dexterous hand), providing the highest level of dexterity and range of motion in the H2 EDU series. The hands provide comprehensive perception feedback including joint mode, position, velocity, torque, temperature, voltage/current, sensor pressure values, sensor temperature values, and IMU data.

At its core, the H2 EDU Smart E is equipped with both an Intel Core i5 processor for platform functionality and an Intel Core i7 processor for user development. The robot also features empty slots for PC3 and PC4 high-performance computing modules (up to 2 units, similar to B2 slot format), supporting optional upgrades such as NVIDIA Jetson Thor or Intel Core i7 + NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX for demanding AI workloads.

Constructed from aerospace-grade aluminum, titanium alloy, and high-strength engineering plastics, the H2 EDU Smart E is both durable and lightweight. Its powerful joint motors deliver up to 360 N·m of torque in the legs and 120 N·m in the arms, enabling dynamic and precise whole-body movements. Industrial-grade cross-roller bearings at the joints ensure high precision and load capacity.

The robot features a bionic head and face, wide-field-of-view binocular cameras, and a voice interaction system with array microphones and high-power speakers for natural human-robot communication. With Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity, the H2 EDU Smart E integrates seamlessly into modern research environments. A handheld remote controller, quick-swap smart battery, and charger are included for immediate deployment.

The default configuration includes a protective bracket for added safety during development and testing.
