Unitree has started selling the Go2 robot dog for 4000 dollars

Company Unitree Robotics has released an updated version of the quadruped robot Go2 to the consumer market. The device is available for order at a price of 4000 dollars, making it one of the most affordable solutions in the mobile robotics segment for private users.

The robot is equipped with a LiDAR system for mapping space and navigating in real time. The design is based on 12 drives with high torque, providing a movement speed of up to 2.5 meters per second. The device weighs around 15 kilograms, and the autonomous operation time on a single battery charge reaches 2 hours under moderate load.

Control is carried out through a mobile application or a remote control that supports video streaming from the front camera. The robot's software includes basic obstacle recognition and operator tracking algorithms. For developers, an SDK is provided, allowing integration of custom control scripts via communication protocols used in the company's industrial models.

The release of this model marks the transition of technologies previously available only in research laboratories to the category of consumer electronics. The emergence of such platforms on the market allows enthusiasts to test autonomous movement algorithms and computer vision in home conditions without the need for self-assembly of hardware.
