The Unitree H1 robot is flipping the script on what humanoid robots can do \u2014 literally. This bipedal bot has just snagged the spotlight by pulling off a standing backflip without any hydraulics. That\u2019s right, no bulky, leak-prone hydraulics here, just pure electric dexterity.<\/p>\n

Unitree H1 robot (Unitree)<\/span> (Kurt “CyberGuy” Knutsson)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThe backflip robot’s unique design<\/strong><\/h2>\nYou might be thinking, “Haven\u2019t we seen robots backflip before?” Sure, Boston Dynamics\u2019 Atlas has been somersaulting its way into our social media feeds for a while now, but it\u2019s always had the help of hydraulics.<\/p>\n
The H1<\/u>, on the other hand, is all about those sleek M107 electric joint motors, each packing a punch with 360 Nm (that\u2019s 265.5 pound-foot) of peak torque. And guess what? These motors aren\u2019t just for show; they\u2019re the same ones powering Unitree\u2019s four-legged friend, the B2 quadruped.<\/p>\n\n

While it doesn\u2019t have human-like hands just yet, that\u2019s on the to-do list. The H1 has already broken records for speed, sprinting at 7.4 mph.<\/p>\n

Unitree H1 robot (Unitree)<\/span> (Kurt “CyberGuy” Knutsson)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nMORE: AI ROBOT THAT CAN TRIM, EDGE AND BLOW YOUR LAWN FOR YOU<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\nThe backflip robot’s innovative design<\/strong><\/h2>\nNow, let\u2019s talk design. The H1\u2019s legs are a marvel of engineering, with three degrees of freedom at the hip, one at the knee and another at the ankle. Plus, all the wiring is tucked away inside, which means no more tripping over cables \u2014 just smooth, clean lines. Its head is equipped with 3D LiDAR and an Intel RealSense depth camera, which gives it a panoramic view of its surroundings. Powering all this is a hefty 864-Wh battery that\u2019s quick to swap out.<\/p>\n

Through reinforcement learning simulation, it practiced its heart out until it almost nailed the perfect backflip, save for a tiny corrective hop at the end. It\u2019s like watching an Olympic gymnast stick the landing \u2014 almost.<\/p>\n

Unitree H1 robot (Unitree)<\/span> (Kurt “CyberGuy” Knutsson)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nMore than just flips<\/strong><\/h2>\nH1 incorporates AI technology that enables it to learn and perform a variety of tasks, including backflips. The AI allows the H1 to adapt to different scenarios, whether in industry or service sectors.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sure, doing backflips might not seem like a must-have skill for a robot, but it\u2019s a flashy way to show off the H1\u2019s agility. And it\u2019s not just a one-trick pony; this robot has already mastered speed-walking, stair climbing and even dancing. Talk about a robot with rhythm.<\/p>\n
