Go2

The Unitree Go2 is a quadruped robot dog introduced in 2023 by Unitree Robotics (Hangzhou, China), positioned as an affordable alternative to Boston Dynamics Spot. It features 4D ultra-wide LiDAR, onboard AI, high-performance in-house actuators, and supports research, inspection, and real-world deployment. Pricing ranges from approximately $1,600–$2,800 (consumer/Air/Pro) to $14,500–$22,500 (EDU/EDU Plus), with independent sources confirming real-world autonomous navigation deployments, though with noted limitations in crowded or high-traffic environments. Hardware criticisms include a dated 720p camera and a weak neck assembly, while software polish is also flagged as an area for improvement.
