Company Claim
A regional partner (Toborlife AI) announced phased North American H2 deliveries beginning April 2026; separately, NVIDIA and Unitree announced H2 Plus with four named institutional research adopters (Ai2, ETH Zurich, Stanford Robotics Center, UC San Diego ARClab)
What's Actually Confirmed
As of a mid-July 2026 independent check, no independently audited delivery reports existed confirming North American H2 shipments had actually occurred. The H2 Plus institutional adopter list is confirmed directly by both NVIDIA's own press release and CNBC's independent reporting
