Q: What's the difference between H2 Commercial and H2 EDU?

A: The H2 Commercial ($29,900) and H2 EDU (Contact Sales) share identical physical specifications—182cm height, 70kg weight, 31 DOF. The H2 EDU adds: (1) Intel Core i7 processor (PC2) for custom development alongside the i5, (2) PC3 and PC4 expansion slots for Jetson modules up to 2,070 TOPS, (3) Full SDK access with secondary development rights, (4) Dexterous hand compatibility (Dex3-1, Dex5-1 options), (5) 12-month warranty vs. 8 months, and (6) ROS 2, Python, and C++ development support. If you need to write custom code or conduct research, the H2 EDU is the required variant.

Q: What Jetson modules are compatible with the H2 EDU?

A: The H2 EDU ships with PC3 and PC4 slots empty and ready for NVIDIA Jetson modules. Compatible options include: Jetson Orin NX (100 TOPS), Jetson AGX Orin (275 TOPS), and Jetson AGX Thor (up to 2,070 TOPS). Jetson modules are purchased separately from NVIDIA or authorized distributors and can be installed by the user or dealer.

Q: Does the H2 EDU include SDK and ROS 2 support?

A: Yes, the H2 EDU includes full secondary development rights with SDK access. Supported frameworks include: ROS 2, Python 3, C++, REST APIs, and WebSocket. The recommended development environment is Ubuntu 20.04 or 22.04 LTS. Note that secondary development is NOT available on the H2 Commercial variant.

Q: Is the H2 EDU suitable for undergraduate teaching, or only graduate research?

A: The H2 EDU supports both. For undergraduates: intro to humanoid kinematics, ROS 2 fundamentals, sensor integration labs, and capstone projects. For graduates: custom locomotion controllers, manipulation algorithms, ML model deployment, and thesis/dissertation work. Many universities deploy H2 EDU for shared use across undergraduate labs and graduate research groups.

Q: Why is the H2 EDU "Contact Sales" instead of a fixed price?

A: Institutional purchases involve negotiated terms including: academic discounts, volume pricing for multi-unit labs, configuration options (hands, Jetson modules), support packages, and NET 30/60 payment terms. Request a procurement package for formal institutional pricing.

Q: Can I purchase multiple H2 EDU units for a robotics lab?

A: Yes, multi-unit purchases are common for university robotics labs. Typical deployments range from 2-5 units. Benefits include: volume pricing discounts, coordinated delivery and setup, consistent configuration across units, and consolidated support. Request a multi-unit quote with your specific lab requirements.

Q: Is the Unitree H2 available for immediate purchase?

A: Yes, the Unitree H2 is currently available for pre-order through authorized distributors like ToborLife. Expected delivery is April 2026. Lead times may vary based on configuration and current demand.

Q: What level of programming expertise is required to operate the H2?

A: Basic operation and pre-programmed behaviors require minimal programming knowledge. However, developing custom applications (H2 EDU only) requires proficiency in Python or C++ and familiarity with ROS 2. Integration support services are available for organizations without in-house robotics expertise.

Q: How long does the battery last, and how long does charging take?

A: Battery runtime is approximately 3 hours of continuous operation. The H2 uses a 15Ah premium lithium battery (0.972 kWh) with quick-swap capability for extended operation.

Q: Can the H2 operate outdoors?

A: The H2 is primarily designed for indoor environments. While it may function in protected outdoor spaces, it is not weatherproof and should not be exposed to rain, extreme temperatures, or rough terrain.

Q: What kind of warranty and support comes with the H2?

A: The H2 Commercial includes an 8-month warranty. The H2 EDU includes a 12-month warranty. Both cover defects in materials and workmanship. Technical support is available through distributors and Unitree's support channels.

Q: How does the H2 compare to competitors like Tesla Optimus or Figure 03?

A: The H2's key advantage is immediate availability at a confirmed price point. While competitors announce lower target prices, their availability timelines remain uncertain. The H2 offers 31 degrees of freedom, proven manufacturing from Unitree, and a complete SDK (EDU variant).

Q: What are the maintenance requirements?

A: Regular maintenance includes visual inspections, sensor cleaning, battery health monitoring, and periodic firmware updates. Most maintenance can be performed by your team following provided documentation. Plan for approximately 1-2 hours of maintenance per month.

Q: Can I integrate the H2 with my existing systems?

A: Yes, the H2 EDU provides multiple integration options including ROS 2, REST APIs, and WebSocket. It can be integrated with existing enterprise systems, IoT platforms, and custom software. Note: Full integration capabilities require the EDU variant.

Q: Is the H2 safe to operate around people?

A: The H2 includes safety features such as force limiting and collision detection. However, like all industrial robots, it requires proper risk assessment, safety protocols, and potentially physical safeguarding depending on the application.

Q: What computing resources do I need for development?

A: A modern workstation with Intel i7/AMD Ryzen 7, 16GB RAM (32GB recommended), and NVIDIA GPU with 8GB+ VRAM is recommended. Ubuntu Linux 20.04 or 22.04 is the primary supported operating system.

Q: Are there export restrictions or shipping limitations?

A: Export regulations apply to advanced robotics technology. North America, Europe, and many Asia-Pacific countries generally have straightforward access. Consult with the distributor about any restrictions for your specific situation.

Q: Can I purchase the Unitree H2 with a Purchase Order instead of a credit card?

A: Yes, Purchase Orders are accepted for institutional buyers including universities, research labs, and government agencies. Authorized dealers like ToborLife work directly with procurement departments. NET 30 or NET 60 terms are typically available for qualified institutions.

Q: Is the Unitree H2 eligible for grant funding (NSF, NIH, DARPA, DOE)?

A: Yes, the Unitree H2 qualifies as research equipment under most federal and state grant programs including NSF MRI grants, NIH equipment supplements, DARPA program budgets, and DOE research infrastructure funds. It typically qualifies as capital equipment.

Q: What documentation do I need for sole-source justification?

A: The H2 may qualify for sole-source justification based on specific technical requirements, compatibility with existing Unitree ecosystem, timeline constraints (immediate availability vs. competitors), or research continuity needs. Your procurement department can provide institution-specific guidance.

Q: Does ToborLife offer NET 30 or NET 60 payment terms for universities?

A: NET 30 and NET 60 payment terms are commonly available for qualified educational institutions and government agencies, subject to dealer approval and credit verification. Specify your preferred terms when requesting a quote.

Q: Are educational or research discounts available for the H2?

A: Educational pricing varies by dealer, purchase volume, and institutional requirements. Academic buyers should request educational pricing quotes, inquire about multi-unit discounts, and ask about bundle pricing. Use promo code TOBORBOTINFO200 for $200 off.

Q: What is the total cost of ownership (TCO) for a Unitree H2 over 3 years?

A: 3-Year TCO estimate for H2 Commercial ranges from $41,000-$67,000 depending on usage intensity and support requirements. This includes acquisition ($29,900+), shipping ($500-$2,000), training ($2,000-$5,000), development infrastructure ($3,000-$10,000), and ongoing costs ($3,000-$7,500/year). H2 EDU TCO will be higher based on institutional pricing.

Q: Can I get a formal quote for my procurement department?

A: Yes, authorized dealers provide formal quotations on company letterhead suitable for institutional procurement. Quotes include line-item pricing, shipping costs, delivery timeline, payment terms, warranty details, and technical specifications. Request a quote above.

Q: What shipping and delivery options are available for institutional buyers?

A: For North American institutional buyers, expected delivery is April 2026 for pre-orders placed now. Shipping is free via ToborLife for USA/Canada. Specify any timeline requirements when requesting a quote.
