Unitree H1 Quick Start Guide
The official Unitree quick-start material for the Unitree H1 is linked below — follow it in order. Humanoid first-boots have a real sequence (charge, clear space, power, pair, stand), and skipping steps is the most common cause of an embarrassing first fall.
Our plain-language notes underneath distill the official procedure plus the things owners learn the hard way. Read both before you unbox.

What we know about the Unitree H1
The H1 is a full-size, 47 kg machine — unbox and assemble it with two people and keep the area clear. The official SDK guide walks through the power-on sequence, remote control pairing, and high-level motion services; follow the joint-calibration steps before any dynamic movement.
If you're buying used, ask the seller for the service history and verify the firmware version against the docs hub. Cosmetic scuffs on the shins are normal for lab units; joint torque faults are not — run the diagnostics in the developer docs before you pay.
