Unitree Unveils H2 Plus, a Humanoid Reference Design for NVIDIA Isaac GR00T

Unitree announced on June 1, 2026, the H2 Plus, the first humanoid reference design based on the NVIDIA Isaac GR00T development platform.

What happened

Unitree unveiled the H2 Plus, a humanoid reference design for NVIDIA Isaac GR00T. The H2 Plus is built on Unitree’s H2 chassis, which stands about 6 feet tall and weighs 150 pounds. It is equipped with Sharpa Wave, a tactile five-finger hand, and has 75 degrees of freedom across the whole body. It runs on an NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor T5000, with AI performance of 2,070 FP4 TFLOPS. It is scheduled to become available in the second half of 2026.

Why it matters

For developers at universities and research institutions, the H2 Plus is a reference design that integrates the robot, tactile five-finger hands, onboard computing and a suite of training software, reducing the setup burden of humanoid development, which can otherwise involve disparate components. The announcement said the platform supports demonstration data collection, simulation, training, evaluation and control on the physical robot, and can also be used to incorporate only parts of existing development workflows.
