Capabilities

The advanced built-in AI is powered by a 16-core processor combined with a 384-core, 1.5 TFlops GPU. The Unitree Go1 is equipped with Super Sensory System including five sets of stereo depth fish-eye lens cameras with a viewing angle of 150 x 170°, 3 sets of ultrasound sensors, and foot force sensors measuring the impact when contacting the ground. This system greatly adds to the robot's navigation capabilities and helps it trace the optimal route even in a complex environment, efficiently avoiding obstacles. Furthermore, it provides sufficient performance for SLAM, optional devices such as 3D LiDAR for precise mapping solutions, and much more.

In addition, Unitree provides complete simulation and visualization tools, such as Webots, Gazebo, or RViZ, for two major advantages: they enable feasibility studies without existing hardware as well as application.

What sets the Unitree Go1 apart from other mobile robots is its unique side-follow system based on the patented wireless vector positioning and control technology. Now you do not need to worry about your pet as the robot walks alongside its human master, as opposed to the conventional following mode. People are also capable of helping robot choosing a better route in a complex environment.

Apart from this, the Unitree Go1 comes with a new power joint with super lightweight low-noise and long-life heat pipe cooling system built-in the knee joint motor, which guarantees silent operation and long service life.

The improved power management system allows the robot dog to reach an incredible speed of up to 17 km/h with an operating time of up to 2.5 hours. The motors have a torque of 23.70 Nm at the body and thighs and 35.55 Nm at the knees which enables the Unitree Go1 to perform various tricks, such as jumping or backflipping, safely. The four legs and 12 degrees of freedom ensure the robot’s stability on different terrain types and allow it to walk up and down the stairs with ease. Moreover, you can make the Unitree Go1 sit, lie, dance, bow, squat, sideflip, and perform other actions you would expect from a normal dog.

Operation and controls

The Unitree Go1 comes in three modifications, namely Go1 Air, Go1 Pro, and Go1 Edu. While sharing the same appearance and mechanical construction, the models differ in hardware and programming capabilities. In the table below you can see the differences between the three versions of the Unitree Go1.

The Unitree Go1 Pro is operated with the remote controller. The basic functions can be performed with the help of the label controller which can be easily placed in your pocket due to the compact size. There is also an opportunity to remotely control the Unitree Go1 even when it is out of sight via the mobile app installed on your phone.

Applications

The Unitree Go1 robot dog is an incredible bionic pet with a built-in powerful AI that makes your company wherever you go. It will definitely be of great interest both for children and adults, making for harmonious and safe human-machine interaction.
