The Chinese robotics company Unitree&#8217;s latest robot dog is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitree.com\/en\/go2\">Unitree Go 2<\/a>, which starts at an incredible $1,600. After shipping and duty fees and all that, it&#8217;ll cost more like $2,400, but that&#8217;s still a bargain compared to an industrial robot.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes it&#8217;s hard to tell if these upstart robotics companies are serious and have real products to sell, but we want to stress this is not Unitree&#8217;s first robot dog. This is the company&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitree.com\/en\/\">third-generation<\/a> consumer product, along with two models of beefier &#8220;industrial&#8221; bots that compete with Boston Dynamics.<\/p>\n<p>Unitree Go 2 stands at just under 16 inches tall, is 27 inches from head to tail, and weighs 33 pounds. It has a camera, flashlight, and a constantly spinning 360-degree LiDAR sensor on the face. The robot has 12 motors\u2014we&#8217;re guessing that means three for each leg\u2014making this a pretty agile robot able to deal with all sorts of uneven outdoor terrain and, like any good dog, do a ton of tricks. The Go2 has an 8000 mAh battery good for about &#8220;1\u20132&#8221; hours of runtime, along with Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth for communication with the app. The base model has a top speed of 2.5 meters per second.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1955810#p3\">Read 6 remaining paragraphs<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1955810&amp;comments=1\">Comments<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Ars Technica &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1955810\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">This LiDAR-equipped, 30-pound robot dog can be yours for ,600<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Unitree Go 2.
