Unitree A2
Industrial-Grade Quadruped Robot
for Rugged and Long-Range Deployment
Combining agility, intelligence, and adaptability for diverse real-world scenarios.
Overview
The Unitree A2 is a high-performance quadruped robot built for demanding industrial, field, research, and inspection applications. With tough hardware, hot-swappable dual-battery capability, and impressive payload & endurance, A2 is designed to go where others can’t—rugged terrain, complex environments, and continuous operations. Whether used for inspection, logistics, emergency response, or outdoor research, A2 offers strong mobility, sensing, and durability. Its dual LiDAR setup, HD camera, and open interface make it a powerful platform for developers and integrators.
Features & Benefits
Long Endurance & Hot-Swappable Power
Two battery slots allowing continuous operation—over 5h / ~20 km when unloaded; about 3h / ~12.5 km with ~25 kg walking load.
Heavy Payload & Load Capacity
Capable of supporting up to 100 kg when stationary, and handling ~25 kg while walking. Great for carrying tools, equipment, or sensors.
Robust Perception System
Dual LiDAR sensors (front and rear), HD camera, front light and other sensors provide “zero blind spots” environment awareness. Enables safe navigation and obstacle avoidance in both indoor and outdoor settings.
Aggressive Mobility & Terrain Handling
With max speed up to ~5 m/s, stairs up to ~30 cm, capable of 45° incline slopes, and strong traction even under load. Great for rough terrain, uneven surfaces, and outdoors.
Industrial-Grade Build & Operating Range
Weight ~37 kg (with batteries), ~31 kg without; uses aluminum alloy + high-strength engineering plastic; operates in wide temp range (–20°C to 55°C); IP56 rating (core components can go up to IP67 depending on configuration).
Open Developer Platform & Expandability
Equipped with a high-performance CPU, optional Intel i7 dock, multiple interface & sensor I/O (RS485, CAN, Gigabit Ethernet, USB-C etc.), Wi-Fi 6 / Bluetooth 5.2, optional modules like GPS / 4G etc. Supports secondary development, OTA updates.
