The lightweight and compact Go1 Air is the entry-level model in the Go1 series by Unitree Robotics. It offers many interesting features:
Can travel at speeds of up to 2.5 m/s and offers a battery life of up to 2.5 hours, depending on how you use it
Its intelligent lateral tracking system means it walks alongside a human and avoids obstacles on all types of terrain
Has a 4*1.43 GHz 128 Core 0.5 T processor
Its 4 legs and 12 degrees of freedom take it up and down stairs, and it can also sit, lie down, dance, bend, crouch, etc.
What are the differences between the 3 Go1 models?
There are 3 versions of the Go1: Go1 Air, Go1 Pro and Go1 Edu. They all look the same and share the same mechanics, but differ in terms of hardware and programming capabilities.
The standard Go1 Air has 1 processor and 1 Super Sensory System, while the more sophisticated Go1 Pro has 3 processors and 5 Super Sensory Systems. Both have 3 ultrasonic sensors.
The premium Go1 Edu has 3 nano processors, 5 Super Sensory Systems and 4 ultrasonic sensors.

The Go1 software
Go1 comes with an ARM Cortex-A72 processor, which is sufficient for SLAM, and there are optional peripherals, including a 3D LiDAR for accurate mapping solutions, plus much more. Comprehensive simulation and visualisation tools are also provided (Webots, Gazebo, RViZ), allowing feasibility studies and low-cost application development.
