The Unitree Robotics Go1 is a bionic quadruped robot that behaves like a real dog — it accompanies you while you are jogging or walking in the park, helps you carry your stuff, and can even bring your morning paper. The Go1 Edu model designed by the Chinese-based Unitree Robotics company amazes with its dog-like behavior, programming development opportunities, and the affordable price, much lower than those of most competitors. Targeted mainly at the educational and R&D fields, the Go1 Edu can at the same time be regarded as one of the most budgt-friendly four-legged bionic robots for home use.
The advanced built-in AI is powered by a 16-core processor combined with a 384-core, 1.5 TFlops GPU. The Go1 Edu is equipped with Super Sensory System including 5 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 complicated environments, efficiently avoiding obstacles.
What sets the Go1 apart from other quadruped bionic 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 robopet as it always walks by your side, as opposed to the traditional following mode.
The improved power management system allows the robot to reach an incredible speed of up to 17 km/h. The motors have a torque of 23.70 Nm at the body and thighs and 35.55 Nm at the knees which enables the 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 Go1 sit, lie, dance, bow, squat, sideflip, and perform other actions you would expect from a normal dog.
The Unitree Robotics 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 Go1.
