H2 is Unitree's adult size humanoid, with a 3 hour battery, 31 joints and a published US preorder price. Everything shown so far comes from company videos, and the Basic version cannot even be programmed. It is for labs and developers with a big budget, not for households.
Best for: Research labs that want a full size Unitree humanoid. Skip if: You want a robot that does chores, or you need to program it without buying EDU.
