• Protected Body. The design is intended for operation in harsh conditions. The IP54 protection rating ensures protection against dust and water.

Wheeled Design of Unitree As2-W and 16-Drive System

The design of Unitree As2-W combines articulated legs with wheeled drives. Wheels with a diameter of 178 mm provide fast movement on flat surfaces, and 16 degrees of freedom allow changing the body position, maintaining balance, and overcoming steps and other obstacles.

The joints are equipped with high-speed motors with low inertia and industrial cross-roller bearings designed for significant loads. The precision of movements is ensured by dual position sensors, and the stable temperature of the drives is maintained by a local air cooling system. The maximum torque of the joints reaches about 95 Nm.

Movement Speed and Terrain Traversability of Unitree As2-W

The wheeled base significantly enhances the dynamics of movement compared to classic walking robots. The platform's operating speed ranges from 0 to 3.7 m/s, and the peak speed reaches about 6 m/s.

Load and Load Capacity of Unitree As2-W

The Unitree As2-W robot dog is designed for the installation of additional sensors, computing modules, and measuring equipment. The permissible load depends on the operating mode. In a stationary position, the robot can hold a load of about 150 kg. During continuous movement and maneuvering, the recommended useful load is about 16 kg, allowing for stability, controllability, and declared dynamic characteristics.

Sensor System and Camera of Unitree As2-W Edu Standard

The standard sensor suite provides platform orientation in space and spatial data collection.

The perception system of the Edu Standard configuration includes:

• Industrial-grade 64–128-line LiDAR for accurate point cloud construction and SLAM navigation;

Operating Recommendations for Unitree As2-W Edu Standard

• Control of Useful Load Mass. When installing additional sensors or computing modules, ensure that the total equipment mass does not exceed 16 kg to maintain the robot's stability and dynamic characteristics.
• Planning Work Duration. Consider that maximum load and intensive movement through complex terrain may reduce autonomous operation time to approximately 2 hours.
• Adhering to Operating Conditions. The IP54 protection rating allows operation in dusty and humid conditions, but the robot is not intended for immersion in water or exposure to high-pressure water jets.
• Checking Optical Sensors. Before each launch, clean the protective glass of the LiDAR and cameras from dust, dirt, and fingerprints for the correct operation of the navigation and mapping system.
• Testing Algorithms. Before launching custom algorithms on a real robot, pre-test and debug them in a software environment.
