The Robot Dog's performance and movement are influenced by the selected mode of operation, each tailored to optimize mobility and functionality in specific scenarios. Understanding these modes ensures efficient and effective operation across varying terrain conditions.
The Go2 has a tread limit of 160mm. If you exceed this height difference it is likely that the dog will topple over.
By default, General Mode offers two modes of moving up stairs dependent on the facing of the dog (looking up or down the stairs). The Robot Dog does short steps in hopes of catching or going down a ledge. This mode mostly works but requires small adjustments to better match the movement pattern to the ledge width/height. Rotating the dog 45 degrees whilst still moving forward/backwards may help in better positioning as it catches or drops to a ledge.
AI Mode enables the Robot Dog to adapt more effectively to steps by using more of its sensors, optimizing its movements for greater efficiency.
There are moments where the Robot Dog may trip over or suffer a fall due to obstacles during operation. The Robot Dog is equipped with an automatic fall recovery function, however there are times when the function does not operate as expected.
If the RobotDog is malfunctioning, here are some ways to recover the RobotDog. Please be cautious to avoid any damage to the robot or injuries to the operator.
Using the Ipad:
If the Robot Dog is in a position where it may be able to stand up (i.e not on its back), try pushing the Stand-up command on the iPad, to initiate a recovery.
Remote Control:
You may try the L2 + A cycle to reset the dog into the Prone Position.
If the Robot Dog is in a position where it may be able to stand up (i.e not on its back), press L2 + X , to initiate a recovery.
If you are experiencing any abnormal behaviour of the Robot Dog after falling, including unusual walking, please contact NExT Lab immediately.
If in doubt, refer to the standard procedure. The following is for when that might not be possible or if you wish to attempt a recovery instead.
If the RobotDog is tilted (as video above) or flipped, press use the procedure.
If that fails, use the procedure.
