  • The controller extends a proprioception-only quadruped policy to the 16-DoF legged-wheeled platform.
  • The work reports long-range autonomous navigation experiments with the Go2-W in real-world environments.

Develops quadruped and humanoid robots, with strength in dynamic locomotion, vertically integrated hardware, and relatively low-cost commercial deployment. Unitree is one of the clearest examples of a legged robotics company moving from research visibility into real productisation and broader market distribution.
