Due to its open architecture, it is indispensable in research institutes for developing manipulation algorithms and in "New Retail" scenarios for automated service and customer interaction.

Unitree Z1

Načini ikona Perfect synergy with mobile robots

The Z1 is not just a static arm; it was developed specifically for integration onto quadruped robots (such as Unitree Aliengo and B1) and other mobile vehicles (AGV/AMR). With its compact design and standardized interface, it allows mobile robots to not only observe but physically interact with the environment – opening doors, pressing buttons, or carrying cargo on challenging terrain.

Unitree Z1

Motor ikona 6 degrees of freedom and harmonic drives

The robotic arm boasts 6 degrees of freedom (6 DOF), allowing it exceptional flexibility and reach from various angles. Each joint uses high-precision harmonic reducers and industrial cross-roller bearings. This ensures smooth movement, high torque (up to 33 N·m at the base), and minimal backlash (~6 arcmin), which is crucial for precise operations.

Unitree Z1

Zaščita ikona Safety and collision detection

For safe collaboration between humans and robots (collaborative work), the Z1 is equipped with a collision detection system. Advanced algorithms and torque feedback allow the arm to stop immediately or adjust force in case of unexpected contact. Support for "Joint Force Control" ensures force control precision up to ~0.2 N·m, protecting both the robot and its surroundings.

FAQ

Learn about the frequently asked questions regarding Unitree robots.

Which robot model is most suitable for industrial inspections and work on challenging terrain?

The choice depends on the specific environmental requirements and the required load capacity. For the most demanding environments (water, dust, difficult terrain) and long-term inspections, we recommend the Unitree B2 model, which features IP67 protection, a load capacity of over 40 kg, and exceptional autonomy. For lighter inspection tasks, educational purposes, or the development of AI algorithms, the Aliengo or Go2 Pro models are an excellent choice, offering a great balance between performance, agility, and price.

Do the robots support the integration of custom sensors and software (SDK/API)?

Yes, all our robots (Aliengo, B2, Go2, H1, G1) are designed as open development platforms. They support high-level and low-level API interfaces (C/C++), allowing for complete control over movement and data. The robots are fully compatible with ROS (Robot Operating System) and ROS2. Additionally, they feature integrated standard interfaces (Ethernet, USB, HDMI) and power outputs (5V, 12V, 24V) for easy connection of external LiDARs, cameras, GPS modules, or gas sensors.

How are service, spare parts, and technical support handled in Slovenia?

Comprehensive technical support, regular maintenance, and servicing of all robotic platforms are provided by the specialized company LEGIT d.o.o. Their goal is to ensure the shortest possible downtime for your equipment, which is why every case is handled as a priority. The duration of an individual service intervention depends on the nature of the technical issue and the current availability of specific spare parts within the global supply chain. Since this involves highly specialized technology, certain components are ordered directly from the manufacturer, which may affect the final completion deadline; however, we keep customers informed about all stages of the process and estimated timeframes in a prompt and transparent manner.

Can robots operate in the rain and dusty industrial plants?

It depends on the model. The Unitree B2 model is specifically built for extreme conditions and has an IP67 certification, meaning it is completely resistant to dust and water (including short-term immersion). Other models (Go2, Aliengo, G1) have basic protection suitable for humid environments and light terrain conditions, but are not intended for direct exposure to heavy rain or water jets. During pre-purchase consultation, we will assess your working environment and suggest appropriate protection.

What are the manipulation options and is it possible to install a robotic arm on the robot?

Yes, it is possible to integrate the 6-axis robotic arm Unitree Z1 onto quadruped platforms (primarily Aliengo and B2). This enables the execution of tasks such as opening doors, pressing buttons, collecting samples, or carrying objects (up to 3 kg). The arm is powered directly from the robot and is software-synchronized with the movement of the platform, which enables mobile manipulation in space.

What is the battery life and is continuous use (24/7) possible?

Autonomy ranges between 2 and 5 hours, depending on the model and load (Unitree B2 lasts up to 5 hours of walking without a load). All models feature a quick battery swap option, enabling practically continuous operation with the use of additional battery sets. For autonomous patrols, automatic charging solutions (docking stations) are also being developed.

Unitree Robotics

When technology comes to life.

Company History

Unitree Robotics (the official company name is Hangzhou Yushu Technology Co., Ltd.) is not just another technology manufacturer. It is a company that has, over the last decade, single-handedly shattered the myth that advanced robots are reserved only for the military and multi-billion dollar laboratories.

The Company and the Visionary Behind the Brand
The company was founded in 2016 in Hangzhou by Wang Xingxing. His journey began during his studies when he developed the XDog robot, which shocked the industry with its simple yet effective design. Wang's philosophy was clear from the start: vertical integration. Unitree develops and manufactures its own motors, sensors, and controllers. This allows them complete control over costs and the speed of innovation, which is unprecedented in this industry.

Key milestones

Unitree's journey is full of fast and aggressive moves:

  • 2016: Company founded following the viral success of the XDog prototype.
  • 2017 (Laikago): Introduction of their first commercial quadruped, named after the space dog Laika. This was proof that a Chinese company could compete with Western titans.
  • 2021 (Go1): A key moment for the industry. They introduced the first "widely accessible" robot dog (priced around 2,700 USD), which was ten times cheaper than the competition at the time.
  • 2023 (H1): Entry into the world of humanoids. The H1 robot became one of the fastest and most stable humanoid robots in the world, capable of running and even backflips.
  • 2024 (G1): A shift towards the mass use of humanoids. The G1 model was introduced as an "AI agent in physical form" with incredible flexibility and a price aimed at a broader market.

Present

Currently, Unitree is in a transition phase from a hardware manufacturer to an "Embodied AI" company (embodied artificial intelligence). Their latest models use advanced machine learning (Reinforcement Learning), which means that the robots do not move according to pre-written rules, but instead learn through trial and error to overcome obstacles, ice, stairs, and even physical attacks.
