Unitree Robotics, a recognized leader in advanced robotics innovation, presents the H2 EDU Smart M — a full-size, 182 cm humanoid robot that combines the power of the H2 platform with the advanced Wuji Hand 2 tactile dexterous manipulation system. This model, part of the H2 EDU Smart series, is engineered for cutting-edge research in embodied AI, dexterous manipulation, and human-robot interaction.

Building on the foundation of the H2 EDU Standard, the Smart M variant is equipped with two Wuji Five-Finger Dexterous Hands 2 with tactile feedback. Each hand features 20 active degrees of freedom with full opposition capability and lateral swing support, enabling a wide range of grasping and manipulation strategies. The direct-drive rotary joint kinematic configuration is fully back-drivable, providing exceptional transparency and responsiveness. With a control frequency of 1000 Hz across 20 axes and MIT Force-Position Hybrid Control mode, these hands deliver precise and responsive manipulation. The hands achieve a fingertip peak force of ≥15 N, opening/closing speed of ≥4 cycles/s, and joint backlash of <1°. The EtherNet communication protocol (1000BASE-T) ensures high-speed and reliable data transmission. Each hand also includes a wrist-mounted RGB camera for enhanced visual perception during fine manipulation tasks.

The H2 EDU Smart M features a total of 71 degrees of freedom (6 per leg, 7 per arm, 3 at the waist, 2 at the head, and 20 per dexterous hand), providing exceptional dexterity and range of motion. Each hand includes a wrist RGB camera with a 130° field of view and 1920 x 1080 resolution, delivering high-quality visual feedback for close-up perception during fine manipulation tasks.

At its core, the H2 EDU Smart M 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 M 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 M 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.
