YuTree Technology Unveils H1 Humanoid Robot at NVIDIA GTC Conference

On March 19, at the 2024 NVIDIA GTC conference, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang showcased nine humanoid robots, including the notable Unitree H1, developed by Unitree Technology. The orange and green Disney robots on stage utilize motors and batteries derived from Unitree's Go1 quadruped model.

Unitree Technology's R&D team highlighted that their cutting-edge AI algorithms enable the Unitree H1 to autonomously learn high-speed running and dynamic dance movements with the assistance of NVIDIA's GPU-accelerated simulation platform. Recently, the Unitree H1 set a world record for full-sized humanoid robots, reaching an impressive speed of 3.3 m/s, with the potential to exceed 5 m/s.

In the first half of 2023, Unitree Technology completed the development of the H1—equipped with an optional dexterous hand—and began small-scale production and shipping in the latter half of the year. The Unitree H1 captured significant attention at the CES technology showcase in Las Vegas in January 2024 as the only humanoid robot performing autonomously during live demonstrations.

Unitree Technology has gained international recognition, making notable appearances at events such as the 2021 CCTV Spring Festival Gala, the 2022 Winter Olympics opening ceremony, the pre-game performance at the 2023 Super Bowl, and the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games and Asian Para Games.

Founded in 2016, Unitree Technology is a leading robotics company specializing in the research, development, production, and sales of high-performance quadruped robots and dexterous robotic arms for consumer and industrial markets. As one of the pioneers in retailing advanced quadruped robots, Unitree has firmly established itself within the quadruped robotics industry.

Before the 2024 Lunar New Year, Unitree Technology successfully raised nearly 1 billion yuan in a B2 funding round, with new investors such as Meituan, Jinshi Investment, and Yuancode joining existing shareholders like Shenzhen Venture Capital, China Investment, and others.
