Canonical robot record
Overview
The Unitree Go2 is a quadruped robot dog from Unitree Robotics, a Chinese robotics company. It is positioned as an accessible, AI-enabled four-legged platform aimed at consumers, educators, and developers, continuing Unitree's line of legged robots.
The Go2 ships standard with Unitree's in-house 4D LIDAR for hemispherical sensing, enabling obstacle avoidance and environmental awareness. It emphasizes embodied-AI capabilities and receives continuous over-the-air software upgrades after purchase.
Unitree sells the Go2 in multiple tiers, with higher variants adding onboard compute, greater payload and speed, and additional connectivity, allowing buyers to choose between entry-level consumer use and more capable developer or research configurations.

Record changelog
- ROS Compatible: true changed to Edu only (unitree_ros2) · Jul 10, 2026
record-surgery-4 verification (corrected): ROS 2 integration (unitree_ros2) rides on the SDK, which is officially supported on Edu only. Same trim-attribution correction as sdk_support.
- SDK Support: true changed to Edu only (official secondary development) · Jul 10, 2026
record-surgery-4 verification (corrected): Blanket 'true' is misleading at family level: official secondary-development/SDK support is an Edu-trim feature (Air/Pro/X are consumer trims without officia
- Payload Capacity: About 8 kg (max ~10-12 kg by variant) changed to 7-8 kg by trim (Air ~7, Pro/X/Edu ~8; max 10-12 kg) · Jul 10, 2026
record-surgery-4 verification (corrected): Official table: Air ~7 kg (max 10), Pro ~8 kg (max 10), X/Edu ~8 kg (max 12). Family string now carries the trim range; numeric stays 8 (dominant rated value
- Battery Life: About 1-2 h (8000 mAh std; 15000 mAh option) changed to 1-2 hours (8000 mAh: Air/Pro/X); 2-4 hours (15000 mAh: Edu) · Jul 10, 2026
record-surgery-4 verification (corrected): Current phrasing implies 15000 mAh is an option on any trim; officially the 15000 mAh/432 Wh pack and 2-4 h runtime are bound to Edu. Numeric = 2 h (range ma
- Max Speed: 5 m/s changed to 2.5-3.7 m/s by trim (Air 2.5, Pro 3.5, X/Edu 3.7; ~5 m/s max) · Jul 10, 2026
record-surgery-4 verification (corrected): Family record should carry the rated range across trims, not the burst ceiling: official table lists 0-2.5 (Air), 0-3.5 (Pro), 0-3.7 (X/Edu) with '~5 m/s max
- Communication: WiFi, 4G LTE changed to WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.2; 4G module (Pro/X/Edu) · Jul 10, 2026
record-surgery-4 verification (corrected): WiFi 6 + Bluetooth 5.2 shared across trims; 4G is NOT family-wide - Air lacks the 4G module. Trim attribution added for family honesty.
- Sensors: 4D LiDAR L2, HD wide-angle camera, foot-end force sensors (EDU) changed to 4D LiDAR L2, HD wide-angle camera; foot-end force sensors (X/Edu) · Jul 10, 2026
record-surgery-4 verification (corrected): LiDAR L2 + camera are shared across all trims. Foot-end force sensors are fitted on both X and Edu, not Edu alone - '(EDU)' attribution updated.
- Operating Temperature: -20°C to 55°C changed to Not published by manufacturer (unsourced value removed) · Jul 10, 2026

tranche-1 verification (corrected): Mfr states about 1-2 h standard battery
- Payload Capacity: 3 kg changed to About 8 kg (max ~10-12 kg by variant) · Jul 6, 2026
tranche-1 verification (corrected): Mfr lists ~7-8 kg standard, well above 3 kg
