Unitree unveils new A2 quadruped robot with 100 kg load capacity and 20 km range




Unitree Robotics has launched its most advanced quadruped robot to date – the Unitree A2 – positioning it as a rugged and versatile platform for industrial deployment across inspection, logistics, and research applications. (See video below.)

Weighing 37 kg (81.6 lbs) unloaded, the A2 boasts a maximum standing load of 100 kg (220 lbs) and can walk while carrying up to 25 kg (55 lbs).

On a single charge, the robot can walk continuously for up to 20 km (12.4 miles) unloaded, or 12.5 km (7.8 miles) when fully loaded. Runtime can be extended via hot-swappable dual batteries designed for uninterrupted missions.

According to Unitree, the A2 blends power, perception, and endurance into one unit, offering top speeds of 5 m/s (11.2 mph) and the ability to climb steps up to 1 meter (3.3 feet) in height.

The company says the robot is equipped with ultra-wide 3D LiDAR sensors on both the front and rear, providing 360-degree environmental awareness. A front-facing HD camera with built-in lighting enables AI-powered vision and autonomous obstacle avoidance.

“Unitree continues to push boundaries in creating accessible and high-performance robotic platforms,” the company said in an announcement, noting that the A2 is engineered for real-world use cases in dynamic environments.

The robot was unveiled alongside a new demonstration video available here, showing the A2 navigating uneven terrain, climbing steps, and handling payloads with ease. The full technical specifications are available on the official Unitree A2 product page.

The A2 launch follows the success of Unitree’s earlier models such as the Go1 and B2, and further cements the company’s role in expanding real-world robotics deployment.

Beyond manufacturing: Cobots in healthcare, labs, and food service

Image
When you hear the word “robot”, you probably picture a massive, unmoving arm on an assembly line, precisely welding car parts or lifting heavy machinery. And for good reason – industrial robots have revolutionized manufacturing for decades.  But a new breed of robotic assistants, collaborative robots or cobots, are breaking free from the factory floor, proving their versatility and value in an array of surprising environments. Designed to work safely alongside humans, cobots are now making significant inroads into fields like healthcare, laboratory research, and even food service, transforming how we approach tasks in these diverse sectors. Healthcare: A helping hand for professionals and patients In the fast-paced and often understaffed world of healthcare, cobots are emerging as invaluable allies. They aren’t replacing human caregivers but rather augmenting their capabilities, taking on repetitive or physically demanding tasks that free up medical professionals to focus on direct...

GreenBot unveils autonomous system for weeding woody crop areas

Image
The   GreenBot   project has taken a key step towards sustainable agriculture with the field deployment of a high-precision autonomous vehicle designed for the smart and localized control of weeds in woody crops such as almond, citrus, and olive trees. This breakthrough, made possible thanks to a public-private partnership, integrates artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and machine vision to optimize the use of plant protection products, reduce costs, and mitigate the environmental impact of intensive farming. A tech response to an agronomic challenge Weeds pose a constant threat to agricultural production, with estimated crop yield losses of up to 40%. Conventional control methods, based on the widespread application of herbicides, are not only costly (up to 30% of production costs) but also harmful to the environment due to drift or runoff. GreenBot addresses this problem through a precise and targeted approach, adapted to the complex environment of woody crops, where ac...
