Hands sold separatelypriced by quote
The base model ships without hands and has 4-DoF arms. UBTECH lists dexterous hands as standard only on the Walker Tienkung Embodied Intelligence version (42 joints, 7-DoF arms) and shows no hand add-on for the base.

Reality check
It undercuts the H1 dramatically on paper, but the base model has 4-DoF arms and no hands, cameras or development computer, and UBTECH offers only an inquiry form with no western storefront, price or dealer, so getting one to Europe or the US is a China-import project you run yourself.
Can you get one, and what will it cost?
A planning estimate with machine, freight, duty, and tax shown separately.
Delivery to United States needs seller confirmation.
US authorization: We found no public FCC ID for this model. Since 28 July 2026 a foreign-made robot can be sold into the US only under an FCC authorization from before that date, so ask the seller for its FCC ID, or its Supplier's Declaration of Conformity dated before 28 July 2026, before you pay.
We do not have a confirmed shipping route for the Walker Tienkung to United States. Coverage in another country does not establish delivery here, so no delivered total is shown.

What it does on day onewith zero programming
Robust locomotion: 10 km/h run across slopes, stairs, sand, and snow, with the Huisi Kaiwu embodied-AI platform for research. Manipulation needs the Embodied Intelligence version, which has hands and 7-DoF arms; UBTECH's grasping example supports only that version.
Best for: Research labs (with a China import route) that want an inexpensive full-size locomotion platform.
