Unitree announces the H2 Plus, the first reference humanoid for the NVIDIA Isaac GR00T platform: an H2 fitted with Sharpa hands and a Jetson Thor computer, for 75 degrees of freedom in total. Availability planned for late 2026.

### Background On June 1, 2026, Unitree announced the H2 Plus, the first humanoid reference design built on the NVIDIA Isaac GR00T development platform. The idea: give labs a complete, validated robot, from body to "brain", to move faster from bring-up to skill learning. ### Specifications | Item | Announced value | |---|---| | Chassis | Unitree H2, nearly 6 feet tall and 150 pounds | | Degrees of freedom | 31 for the body, 75 including the hands | | Hands | two Sharpa Wave five-finger tactile hands, 22 degrees of freedom each | | Vision | head-mounted stereo camera (140° × 102°), wrist cameras | | Compute | NVIDIA Jetson Thor | | Availability | late 2026 | For NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang, this reference robot gives researchers "a single, open platform" to make progress toward general-purpose physical intelligence. ### Why it matters NVIDIA picks a Chinese humanoid as the reference hardware for its robotics stack, despite trade tensions between Washington and Beijing. For Unitree, it is technical recognition and direct access to university labs worldwide. The partnership also puts the spotlight on Sharpa, a young Singapore specialist in robotic hands. ### Key takeaways The H2 Plus turns the H2, unveiled in October 2025, into a research standard. A week later, the Pentagon added Unitree to its list of companies linked to the Chinese military.
