Hosted at the NExT Lab and working in collaboration with Robotics Lab, the UniTree Go 2 Robot Quadruped is a highly agile robotic platform designed to offer tasks like surveillance, advanced mobility for research purposes.
The UniTree Go2 RobotDog package comes in a suitcase that contains all relevant equipment. Please ensure you have all the items upon borrowing, and upon return:
UniTree Go2 Quadrupped Robot
Remote Control
Battery
iPad
Available expansion equipment/attachment:
UniTree Go2 Charging Station
UniTree D1 Servo Arm for Go2
Ouster OS2
Long-range LiDar Kit
Emlid Reach RS2 + L1/L2/L5 RTK GNSS receiver
You can use the Unitree Go App with a personal account to practice the movements and functionality of the Robot Dog in a virtual environment. We recommend this to familiarise yourself with the general controls.

The Robot Dog is a programmable robot, its base function is to maneuver/navigate environments.
Basic manual operation is done via remote control through an app or the physical remote, along with voice commands.
Further functions can be achieved through programming the Robot with further attachments and equipment. As these functions get developed through Research and Teaching, they will become available for use.
Autonomous navigation: Equipped with 4D LIDAR and obstacle avoidance for autonomous movement and terrain mapping.
Terrain exploration: Suitable for navigating and exploring controlled environments.
Remote monitoring: Real-time image transmission allows for surveillance or inspection in hard-to-reach or unsafe areas.
Inspection tasks: Useful for inspecting industrial or confined areas autonomously.
Lightweight object transportation: Can carry or move lightweight items, especially when paired with the D1 Servo Arm.
Routine assistance: Assists in controlled tasks such as fetching or organising objects in structured environments.
