Unitree Superman Humanoid Robot

Unitree Superman Humanoid Robot

Unitree Superman is a prototype humanoid demonstrator associated with Unitree Robotics and focused on extreme locomotion rather than manipulation. According to Humanoid.guide, the platform was revealed in August 2026 as a high-dynamic robot capable of a standing jump of roughly 2 m and a sprint speed of 12.66 m/s. The listing is marked Not Verified, so public specifications should be treated as preliminary until Unitree publishes final commercial documentation.

Locomotion-Focused Design

Unlike general-purpose humanoids designed for grasping, sorting, or service manipulation, Superman removes hands and grippers and concentrates its mechanical design on leg performance. The reported specification includes 20 total degrees of freedom, 45 kg body weight, 170 cm height, a 45.6 km/h maximum speed, and about 1.5 hours of runtime per charge.

Applications

Because the robot is described as a prototype and technology demonstrator, the strongest near-term uses are research, dynamic locomotion testing, robotics benchmarking, media demonstrations, university labs, and advanced mobility studies. It is not positioned as a manipulation robot: Humanoid.guide lists zero hand degrees of freedom and zero fingers.
