In 2016, Unitree Robotics was founded. Since their inception, they have designed and produced a wide range of quadruped robots, and recently they have entered the humanoid sector with the G1 and H1. In this blog post, we will dive in to a couple of the most capable Unitree models and look into use cases across industries and public safety fields.
Unitree Go2 - Affordable and Capable
The Go2 is among the most affordable quadruped models from Unitree. The Go2 comes standard with a rotating LiDAR sensor that was designed in house by the Unitree R&D team. The LiDAR module can be used to collect useful data for indoor surveys (with supported hardware), or to avoid obstacles. The Go2 is available in three versions, the Go2 Air being the cheapest, the Pro being midrange and EDU being top of the line. The Go2 is excellent for education institutions, software developers and commercial applications like risk assessment and security.
Unitree B2/B2-W - Commercial Work Horse
The B2 series is built on a larger platform than the Go2. The B2 is equipped with a LiDAR module that can be used for capturing space data in both large and small areas. The B2 has an advanced and powerful motor system that delivers a top speed of up to 6m/s (21.6km/h) making the B2 perfect for large warehouses or outdoor spaces. Add a variety of accessories to the B2 such as a robotic arm or loudspeaker system for crowd control. The B2 can also be outfitted with a variety of camera systems for search and rescue or security. Looking to cover huge areas such as a warehouse floors or a pathway system? The B2-W comes outfitted with wheels to make travel more efficient and sustainable. B2 is the ideal choice for inspection, security and fire rescue applications.
Unitree G1 - Powerful Humanoid Robot
The G1 is one of the latest robots from Unitree. Unlike most of the other Unitree robots, the G1 is a humanoid design. The G1 is available in a standard version and a EDU version that allows custom programming and can be used for more advanced applications. The G1 is ideal for software developers and applications that require fine motor control like cooking, soldering or assembly line based applications.
Applications
With the countless Unitree models and limitless attachments ranging from robot arms to loudspeakers, there's a robot for your application. Below are just a couple ways Unitree robots can be used to increase efficiency, safety and decrease cost.
Security - Parole automated.
The B2 can be paired with a wireless charging dock, which allows the quadruped to run preplanned missions, charge and repeat without the need for a person to manually swap batteries. Thanks to Unitrees intuitive software, setting up a preplanned mission is easy.
Fire Rescue - Safety Improved.
Finding survivors in large buildings during a fire is extremely difficult and a huge risk to law enforcement personnel. The B2 can be rapidly deployed in a matter of minutes and can be quickly cover large buildings. With optional thermal cameras and a 360 vision system, you can spot people in no time.
Software Development - The Perfect Platform
A variety of the Unitree Pro and Edu series of robots supported custom code in a variety of languages. Deploy, test and refine your code for robotic applications
Conclusion
Unitree robots can be deployed in a range of applications, from school settings all the way to law enforcement and security. Unitree robots offer a wide range of features and control options, making them extremely adaptable.
