Unitree Robotics - Quadruped robots
The Unitree Robotics quadruped robots are designed to go where wheels and tracks reach their limits: stairs, uneven terrain, slopes, narrow passages, and cluttered environments. From the Go2 Edu Plus for education and research to more powerful platforms such as A2 / A2-W and B2 / B2-W, Unitree offers a range suited to R&D, inspection, data capture, and advanced mobile robotics projects. In this category, you’ll find several “W” variants (often chosen for more demanding conditions) as well as models built for outdoor use and higher payloads. We help you choose the most relevant platform based on your terrain, your sensors, your battery life, and your goals (demos, prototyping, inspection, software integration).
Why choose a Unitree quadruped robot?
- All-terrain mobility: stable walking on uneven ground, obstacle crossing, stairs depending on configuration.
- R&D platform: ideal for developing behaviors (navigation, tracking, perception) and integrating your sensors.
- Inspection & data collection: autonomous/assisted movement to capture images, videos, and sensor data.
- Software ecosystem: well suited for robotics integrations (control, navigation, research applications).
- Fast deployment: efficient setup and demos for field tests and integration trials.
Which robot to choose in the Unitree range?
Go2 Edu Plus: education & research
For who? engineering schools, universities, labs, robotics clubs, R&D teams.
Why? a solid base to learn, test, develop behaviors and mobility scenarios, with an excellent “setup / experimentation” ratio.
Go2-W & Go2X: enhanced mobility and field use
For who? real-world demos, outdoor trials, projects requiring higher tolerance to environmental constraints.
Why? when you want to go beyond lab-only use, with a more field-oriented and robust approach.
A2 & A2-W: performance and versatility
For who? teams looking for a more powerful platform for R&D, sensor payloads, and longer trials.
Why? a strong balance of capability, stability, and integration potential (sensors, compute, software).
B2 & B2-W: larger platform and demanding missions
For who? advanced inspection, heavier payloads/sensors, and more constrained environments (depending on configuration).
Why? when capacity (terrain, robustness, integration) is the priority and you have a true mission-driven need.
Typical applications
- Site inspection: warehouses, buildings, industrial areas, infrastructure.
- Research & education: locomotion, control, SLAM, perception, interaction.
- Mapping & data acquisition: video capture, depth, LiDAR (depending on configuration).
- Demos: presentations, trade shows, lab tours, tech events.
- Embedded AI testing: navigation, tracking, obstacle avoidance, autonomous behaviors.
How to choose (quick guide)
- Main use: education/R&D (Go2 Edu Plus) vs field/inspection (Go2-W, A2/A2-W, B2/B2-W).
- Environment: controlled indoor vs outdoor/rough terrain → prioritize “W” variants.
- Sensors & integration: weight, size, compute, mounting/fixation needs.
- Level of requirements: demo/prototyping vs longer missions and field constraints.
- Support & assistance: need for integration help, commissioning, training.
FAQ
Which Unitree quadruped robot should we choose for a lab?
The Go2 Edu Plus is generally the best fit to get started in education and research, with quick setup and strong experimentation flexibility.
What’s the difference between the “W” versions and the standard versions?
The “W” versions are generally chosen for more demanding conditions and more field-oriented use. They are recommended when the environment is less predictable.
Can we add sensors (cameras, LiDAR, compute)?
Yes, these platforms are often used as integration bases. The right model will mainly depend on payload, size, and mission constraints.
Are these robots suitable for inspection?
Yes—especially the more mission/field-oriented platforms (depending on your needs: Go2-W, A2/A2-W, B2/B2-W).
