With new capabilities, Unitree’s H1 robot improves its motor skills and is able to perform acrobatics, such as backflips, demonstrating its advancement in robotics. That event was announced on March 21, 2024, humanoids by dispensing with hydraulic systems to achieve it.
H1 robot continues to break records and technological schemes
New capabilities in walking, running and even jumping are activities studied by Unitree Robotics. In this way, it allows them to improve the concept of their robot, so that it continues to break the cultural barrier in robotics by performing a successful “backflip”. This event occurred on March 21, 2024, when Unitree optimistically revealed that its H1 humanoid robot was the first to accomplish such a feat without relying on hydraulics.
Other robots, such as Boston Dynamics’ Atlas, have impressed the public with their agile movements, but reliance on hydraulics has been a constant stumbling block. Unitree’s H1 has overcome this limitation, by the use of in-house manufactured M107 electric articulating motors, each with an impressive maximum torque of 360 Nm.
This impressive achievement, Unitree’s H1 had already gained attention by breaking a Guinness record as the world’s fastest full-sized humanoid robot. Guinness World Record as the world’s fastest life-size humanoid robot, reaching a linear speed of 3.3 m/s on a flat surface. reaching a linear speed of 3.3 m/s on a flat surface.
The H1’s construction, without the need for hydraulics, allows its legs to have three degrees of freedom, providing more fluid and efficient movement. In addition, the use of internally routed cables offers a cleaner, snag-free design.
The process to achieve a perfect backflip involved extensive training sessions and the implementation of innovative ideas. Through reinforcement learning simulation, Unitree Robotics has honed the skills of H1, which has executed its lessons with near-flawless precision.

H1 can captivate the audience with his acrobatic skills. However, the value of the company’s approach lies in its practical applications. These include walking at high speed, climbing stairs, jumping on your feet and even dancing. However, with an estimated price tag of $90,000, marketing the H1 presents significant challenges. Despite this, Unitree is confident that the H1 will change industries with its extraordinary capabilities once it is ready for market launch.
