Chinese Humanoid Bot H1 Evolution Sets World Speed Record at 7.4mph
- Chinese company Unitree unveils impressive new humanoid robot H1 Evolution V3.0 that sets world speed record of 7.4mph for a bipedal bot
- H1 stands 5ft 11in tall, weighs 104lbs, and uses powerful hip/knee torque to run quickly and jump as high as a human
- H1's top speed leaves other humanoid robots like Boston Dynamics' Atlas (5.5mph) in the dust
- H1 uses Lidar and depth cameras to see and navigate environments, allowing it to climb stairs and coordinate motions
- Unitree lists H1's price under $90,000, cheaper than competitor robots like Spot ($75,000) and Stretch ($300,000-$500,000)
