Meet the Unitree Robot Family: Go and B Series
Unitree's product range is strategically designed to meet varying needs:

The Unitree Go Series (Go1 & Go2): The Pinnacle of Agility & AI Often hailed as revolutionary robot dogs, the Go series, especially the latest Unitree Go2, represents a significant leap in consumer and research-grade quadrupeds. Known for its exceptional agility, speed (running up to 3.5-5m/s depending on variant), and intelligent features, the Go2 builds upon the success of the Go1. Key advancements often include enhanced AI processing, improved obstacle avoidance (potentially leveraging 4D LiDAR), sophisticated follow-me functions, integrated voice commands, and expanded battery life. With accessible SDKs (Software Development Kits) and APIs, the Go series is an ideal platform for cutting-edge research in locomotion, AI development, human-robot interaction (HRI), and engaging STEM education. Its relatively lower price point compared to industrial competitors democratizes access to advanced robotics.

The Unitree B Series (B1 & B2): Robustness for Real-World Deployment Engineered for challenging industrial environments and heavy-duty tasks, the Unitree B series (including the powerful B1 and highly capable B2) offers increased ruggedness, higher payload capacities (often exceeding 20kg, with some models supporting much more), and superior environmental protection (IP ratings like IP67). These robots excel in industrial inspection (e.g., power grids, manufacturing facilities, hazardous sites), security and surveillance patrols over difficult terrain, logistics, mapping, and potentially even emergency response scenarios. Their stable platform, ability to traverse stairs and obstacles, and extended operational range make them reliable tools for demanding commercial applications where durability and performance are critical.

Core Technology: What Powers Unitree Robots?
The remarkable capabilities of Unitree robots stem from a synergy of advanced technologies:

• Dynamic Balancing & Locomotion: Sophisticated algorithms enable stable walking, trotting, running, jumping, climbing, and rapid recovery from disturbances, mimicking biological movement.
• Advanced Perception: Integrated sensors, including high-depth cameras, LiDAR (often 360° hemispherical or 4D options on newer models like Go2), and IMUs, provide rich environmental awareness for navigation and interaction.
• Onboard AI Processing: Powerful processors run complex AI models directly on the robot for real-time decision-making, object recognition, autonomous navigation (SLAM), and task execution.
• Open Development Platform: Unitree emphasizes accessibility through comprehensive SDKs supporting multiple programming languages (like Python and C++), ROS (Robot Operating System) integration, and simulation tools, fostering a vibrant developer community.
