The Go2 Quadruped robot is a versatile platform suitable for a range of applications. It can navigate and explore, leveraging 4D LIDAR and obstacle avoidance for autonomous movement and terrain mapping. Its capabilities allow for robotics education, programming practise, and AI experimentation, with secondary development support.

The robot is also effective for surveillance and inspection, providing real-time monitoring and autonomous access to hard-to-reach or hazardous areas. In addition, it supports logistics and assistance tasks, such as lightweight object transportation and routine operations, especially when paired with the D1 Servo Arm.

Lidar kit

OS2 Long-Range High-Resolution Imaging Lidar:

The robot dog can be equipped with a Lidar Scanning Kit. We currently have the OS2 Long Range – High resolution Imaging lidar available. This lidar system has been developed to handle the most challenging tasks offering robustness and reliability.

• Up to a 400m scanning range (depending on lighting and weather conditions)

• Minimum range 0.8m

• 22.5 degree Vertical Field of View

• 360 Degree Horizontal

• Ip68/69K Rating for a range of weather conditions

• 128 channels of High-resolution imaging to 0.1cm accuracy

• 2.62m points per second

• Near-infrared capture

• Open-source ROS Drivers

D1 servo arm

Allows lifting light-weight objects with the use of a clamp jaw.

• The D1 Servo arm is an addition to the Robot Dog which expands the capabilities and interactivity of the unit. The Servo arm allows users to experiment with manual handling, object manipulation and general object interaction.

• The servo arm offers a max armspan of 550mm (without the jaws) 670mm(with gripper) and can handle up to 500g in weight, suited to education and practical operations.

• The servo arm can be programmed through the ROS platform for complex tasks. Simple controls are integrated and facilitated through the Go2s control interface.

• Typically, servo arms are used for research tasks such as data collection, particularly in hard to reach locations.

GNSS receiver

What is a GNSS receiver?

• The term “GNSS” stands for Global Navigation Satellite System and is used to describe an electronic device that receives and processes digital signals sent by satellites in space. This receiver then usese these signals to calculate its own location, velocity and time. In order for these receivers to operate correctly they should have an unobstructed line of sight to satellites in the sky to ensure accurate information transmission.

• This is a powerful tool that is used in combination with the lidar kit to assist with georeferencing mapping and scan data.

Emlid Reach RS2+ - GNSS Receiver: The GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) is a device that receives satellite signals to calculate location, velocity, and time, and is used with lidar systems for georeferencing mapping and scan data, with the Emlid Reach RS2+ offering features like centimetre-level precision, 22-hour battery life, and IP67 weatherproofing.

• The Emlid Reach RS2+ features includes:

• Cm level precision at over 60kms p/h

• Wifi, Bluetooth and LTE connectivity

• 22hr battery life

• Robust construction with IP67 Weatherproof ratings
