H2-D Ultimate E — mobile dual-arm humanoid with Dex5-1P tactile five-finger dexterous hands, differential-drive chassis with LiDAR navigation

What's in This Configuration

The H2-D Ultimate E adds 94 pressure sensors per hand to the Dex5-1 five-finger dexterous platform — the most sensor-rich configuration in the Ultimate series. It combines a 1-DOF motorized column (0.5 m vertical travel) with dual 7-DOF arms, a 1-DOF waist (0°–115° pitch), and a 2-DOF head to deliver a 52-DOF manipulation system. The mobile base reaches 1.5 m/s with 360° in-place rotation, equipped with LiDAR, depth camera, collision sensors, and ultrasonic sensors for autonomous navigation. Each Dex5-1P Tactile hand features 16 active DOF (thumb ×4, other four fingers ×3 each) with 12 self-developed micro force-controlled compound joints and 4 micro force-controlled gear joints, plus 12 single-body array sensors housing a total of 94 pressure sensors per hand. The tactile array layout includes 2×5 (palm), 2×3 per finger pad ×5, 2×3 per fingertip ×5, and 2×3 per finger base ×4, with a sensing range of 10 g–2500 g and maximum acceptable force of 20 kg (non-destructive). Operating at 24–60 V with USB 2.0 communication at 1000 Hz, each hand delivers 10 N fingertip force and handles loads up to 3.5 kg (palm down) or 4.5 kg (palm left). Rich perception feedback includes joint mode, position, velocity, torque, temperature, voltage/current, sensor pressure value, sensor temperature value, and IMU data. Each hand includes an RGB wrist camera with a 130° diagonal FOV and 1920×1080 resolution. The built-in 48V/30Ah battery (1.44 kWh) provides approximately 5 hours of runtime with support for battery swap and automatic recharging via the included charging station. A visualization computer is included as standard for monitoring and development.

Dual 7-DOF Arms. Industrial-Grade Kinematics. Human-Like Dexterity.

The H2-D Ultimate E is engineered around two 7-DOF high-performance arms, each driven by low-inertia inner-rotor PMSM motors with crossed-roller and double-row ball bearings. With ~0.62 m reach per arm and a ~7 kg rated payload per arm (up to ~15 kg peak), it handles precise assembly, heavy pick-and-place, and industrial manipulation research with human-like fluidity. The extra two degrees of freedom per arm provide kinematic redundancy — the arm can maintain end-effector pose while reconfiguring its elbow to avoid obstacles, reach around corners, or optimize for natural motion. Dual encoders on every joint deliver closed-loop precision.

 

Building on the biomimetic design philosophy of the H2 series, Unitree H2-D Ultimate features a mobile humanoid architecture with multimodal perception and an open development framework. Designed for industrial manipulation, commercial services, robotics research, and embodied AI training.

Autonomous Mobile Chassis — Navigate, Explore & Interact

Unlike the fixed-base H2-D Standard, the H2-D Ultimate features a differential-drive mobile chassis that brings the robot to your environment. With a top speed of 1.5 m/s and 360° in-place rotation (turning diameter ~0.75 m), it navigates warehouses, labs, and service floors with ease. The comprehensive sensor suite includes LiDAR for SLAM mapping, a depth camera for obstacle detection, physical collision sensors for safety bumpers, and ultrasonic sensors for close-range object avoidance. The built-in 48V/30Ah battery (1.44 kWh) delivers approximately 5 hours of continuous operation and supports both manual battery swap and automatic recharging at the included charging station.

1-DOF Motorized Column — Expand Your Workspace Vertically

The 1-DOF motorized column provides 0.5 m of vertical travel at speeds up to ~200 mm/s. This transforms the robot from a compact 1200 mm unit to a 1700 mm tall workstation — enabling floor-level picking, mid-height assembly, and overhead shelf access while the chassis remains stationary or in motion. Combined with the 1-DOF waist (0°–115° pitch) and 7-DOF arms, H2-D Ultimate achieves a full spherical workspace spanning from the ground to a height of 2 m — ideal for warehouse logistics, assembly lines, and service robotics.

Dex5-1P Tactile Five-Finger Dexterous Hands — Feel, Grasp & Master

The Dex5-1P Tactile is a high-performance five-finger dexterous hand with integrated pressure sensing, engineered for the most demanding tactile manipulation research. Each hand delivers 16 active DOF — thumb with 4-DOF for full opposition and precision pinch, and each of the other four fingers with 3-DOF for independent flexion, extension, and lateral swing. The transmission system combines 12 self-developed micro force-controlled compound joints with 4 micro force-controlled gear joints, enabling precise proprioception. Joint ranges include thumb J0: –33.5°–39°, J1: 0°–100°, J2: 0°–110°, J3: 0°–92°; four fingers J0: –22°–22°, J1: 0°–90°, J2: 0°–95°, J3: 0°–81° (coupled with J2); lateral swing ±22°. Each hand is equipped with 12 single-body array sensors containing a total of 94 pressure sensors: 2×5 (palm), 2×3 per finger pad ×5, 2×3 per fingertip ×5, and 2×3 per finger base ×4. The sensing range spans 10 g–2500 g with a maximum acceptable force of 20 kg (non-destructive). With ±1 mm repeatability, 10 mm minimum grip diameter, and 10 N fingertip force, the Dex5-1P handles loads up to 3.5 kg (palm down) or 4.5 kg (palm left) on a 5 cm rigid sphere. Operating at 24–60 V (static 58 V @ 0.2 A, max 58 V @ 3 A), it communicates via USB 2.0 at 1000 Hz with rich perception feedback: joint mode, position, velocity, torque, temperature, voltage/current, sensor pressure value, sensor temperature value, and IMU data. Each hand includes an RGB wrist camera with a 130° diagonal FOV and 1920×1080 resolution. Operating temperature: –20°C to +60°C.

1-DOF Waist — Flexible Body Pitch

The 1-DOF waist joint provides 0°–115° pitch, enabling the robot to bend forward for floor-level picking, lean back for overhead access, and orient toward workstations or humans. Combined with the 1-DOF column and 7-DOF arms, H2-D Ultimate achieves a remarkably flexible posture envelope that covers the full vertical workspace from ground to 2 m.

Dual Intel Compute — Power for Control & Development

The H2-D Ultimate E ships with a built-in dual-compute architecture: PC1 runs an Intel Core i5 for real-time platform functionality and motion control, while PC2 provides an Intel Core i7 dedicated to user development. This separation ensures deterministic robot behavior while giving researchers full freedom to experiment. Optional expansion slots (PC3 for NVIDIA Jetson Thor, PC4 for Intel i7 or Jetson Orin NX) future-proof the platform as your AI ambitions grow. A visualization computer is included as standard for monitoring, debugging, and development.

Binocular Vision & AI Perception

A wide-angle humanoid-style binocular camera head delivers a broad field of view for spatial awareness. Paired with an 8-core high-performance CPU + 10 TOPS NPU in the head module, plus the dual Intel compute in the body, it runs visual perception, object detection, and gesture recognition locally — no cloud required. The RGB wrist cameras on each Dex5-1P hand add close-up visual feedback for precision grasping at 1920×1080 resolution with a 130° diagonal FOV. Combined with the chassis-mounted LiDAR and depth camera, this enables rich multi-modal perception for autonomous navigation and manipulation.

Voice Collaboration & Natural Interaction

Array beamforming microphones and high-power speakers enable clear voice capture and synthesis in noisy industrial floors or warehouses. The open audio framework supports custom wake words, multilingual TTS, and integration with LLMs for conversational command-and-control.

Industrial-Grade. Mobile. 24/7 Ready.

At 1200–1700 × 576 × 620 mm (height adjustable) and approximately 135 kg, the H2-D Ultimate E is a substantial yet mobile industrial workstation. The differential-drive chassis supports autonomous navigation with 360° rotation. The built-in 48V/30Ah battery provides approximately 5 hours of runtime with battery swap and automatic recharge support. An external power supply is also included for stationary wired operation. Note: the upper body cannot accommodate a battery — all power is drawn from the chassis.

 

Biomimetic Design & Full-Body Mobility: a mobile chassis and whole-body coordinated motion extend the operating workspace across entire facilities, enabling flexible manipulation from floor level to 2 m height.
