Unitree Robotics, a leading robotics company based in Hangzhou, China, introduced a new version of its quadruped robot: the Unitree Go2-W. This variant of the traditional Go2 model introduces a unique design by adding wheels instead of “legs,” allowing for greater versatility and efficiency on different types of terrain.
The Unitree Go2-W is equipped with advanced technology including a 4D L1 LiDAR recognition system and wide-angle vision cameras. These features allow it to navigate autonomously and perform complex maneuvers such as climbing obstacles, walking backwards and rolling on smooth surfaces. In addition, its 15,000 mAh battery provides up to four hours of autonomy, making it ideal for extended missions.

Unitree Go2-W can roll and walk
One of the most outstanding features of the Go2-W is its ability to switch between a rolling mode and a walking mode, allowing it to adapt to varied environments, from difficult terrain to smooth indoor spaces. This adaptability makes the robot dog an example of advanced robotic engineering and a potentially valuable tool for inspection, securityinspection, security and other industrial applications.
With this update, Unitree continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in quadruped robotics, offering innovative solutions that combine mobility, artificial intelligence and energy efficiency in a single package.
How much does the Unitree Go2-W cost?
Although the price of the Go2-W has not yet been disclosed, it is expected to be in line with its predecessor, the Go2, which has a starting price of $1,600. This development reinforces Unitree’s position as a key player in the quadruped robot market, competing with other robotics giants like Boston Dynamics y ANYbotics.
