What Was Announced
The H2-D is a wheeled dual-arm robot, aimed at "industrial mobile manipulation" and the move from research labs to production lines. Three points stand out:
- Fully in-house technology stack: actuators, force-controlled joints and motion control algorithms are Unitree designs; secondary development and system customization are supported.
- 20-DOF motion: omnidirectional mobility, vertical lift and body pitch; stability in confined and complex environments.
- Multimodal perception: vision, LiDAR, ultrasonic sensing, force feedback and voice interaction in one system.

Manufacturer footnotes: arm payload varies greatly with arm extension posture; end-effector selection is made with the sales team; parameters may vary by scenario and configuration; some features will be released gradually; a sufficient safety distance between people and the robot must be maintained.
How It Differs from the H2: a Column and Wheels Instead of Legs
The Unitree H2 is a bipedal walking humanoid, 182 cm tall with 31 DOF. The H2-D takes the same series' biomimetic upper-body design but does not walk: it stands on a lift column travelling between 1200 and 1700 mm and a fixed or wheeled base. That choice changes three things: the 135 kg body stays put against heavy parts; 0.5 m of vertical lift and 0-115° pitch extend the workspace from the floor to 2 m; the Standard version runs 24/7 on direct power. Smaller-scale examples of the same approach are already in the range: the G1-D and the R1-D. The H2-D is the full-size, heavy-payload class of that line.
Applications the Manufacturer Targets
Unitree lists four areas:
- Industrial automation: high-speed sorting, autonomous warehousing.
- Research and education: embodied AI research and validation, robotics education, demonstrations.
- Commercial services: reception, guided tours, retail operations.
- Embodied AI training platform: large-scale real-world data collection, model fine-tuning, sim-to-real transfer.
The end-effector options (2-finger gripper, 3- or 5-finger dexterous hand) and the two base options let the same upper body move between these areas: at the line one day, in a warehouse aisle the next.
Price and Availability in Turkey
Robotlar.org, the authorized Unitree Robotics partner in Turkey, supplies the H2-D; pricing is finalized by quote according to the version (Standard/Flagship), end-effector, computing module and battery selection. The delivery schedule is set together with the manufacturer; since some features will be released gradually, the quote reflects the current configuration status. Model page: Unitree H2-D.
