Description

This is the Unitree Go1 Edu robot. It’s a relatively lightweight robot that can walk on all terrains as long as there aren’t too big gaps in it. Out-of-the-box it comes with a stair mode so it can take stairs. It also has some standard programmed dance moves and comes with two controllers. Both can be used for controlling the robot while the smaller one of them can also be used as a Bluetooth tag on which the robot can autonomously side-follow the person wearing it.
