Specs

What it actually does.

Spec sheet

Weight (with battery)
≈ 15 kg
Top speed
≈ 2.5 m/s
Climb grade
30°
Battery life (real)
1–2 hours active, 5–10 hours standby
Sensors
4D LiDAR (Unitree), depth cameras, optional RealSense
Compute
Onboard NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano (EDU variants)

Use cases

  • Autonomous inspection (factories, warehouses, perimeter)
  • Research platform for SLAM, navigation, RL
  • Education: entry-level legged robotics
  • Security patrol with payload sensor (thermal, gas, etc.)

Honest callouts

  • · IP67 means the Go2 survives puddles, dust, and rain — but not submersion.
  • · Real-world battery is 1–2 hours active; manufacturer claims of 5–10 hours are standby-only.
  • · 4D LiDAR is wide-FOV (360° × 90°). Excellent for SLAM, less ideal for small-object detection at distance.

# Go2 — basic SDK walk with obstacle stop
from unitree_sdk2py.core.channel import ChannelFactoryInitialize
from unitree_sdk2py.go2.sport.sport_client import SportClient

ChannelFactoryInitialize(0, "eth0")
sport = SportClient(); sport.SetTimeout(5.0); sport.Init()

sport.Walk(true)             # stand + balance
sport.Move(0.4, 0, 0)        # forward 0.4 m/s
# Hook: if LiDAR reports < 0.5 m clearance, stop:
if lidar.min_clearance < 0.5:
    sport.Move(0, 0, 0)
    sport.StopMove()
