Unitree Go1

Unitree's 2021 consumer-grade quadruped robot, the predecessor to the Go2.

Go1 is a small quadruped robot Unitree Robotics released in 2021, weighing about 12 kg with 12 joint motors across its four legs. It came in three editions — Air, Pro, and Edu — priced on Unitree's site at $2,700 for the Air and $3,500 for the Pro, with the Edu edition aimed at research and offering an open programming interface; Unitree states a top speed of about 4.7 m/s. It carries five sets of fisheye stereo depth cameras for following a person and avoiding obstacles. Go1 brought quadruped-robot pricing down to the tens-of-thousands-of-RMB range, and many universities used it for reinforcement-learning locomotion research and sim-to-real transfer (training in simulation, then deploying to the real robot); Unitree replaced it with the Go2 starting in 2023.

ExampleMIT's Walk These Ways and other legged reinforcement-learning papers ran their real-robot experiments on a Go1.
