Unitree Robotics Go1 Robot Dog
Sure, Boston Dynamics’ Spot robot has been around for quite some time, but it comes with a hefty price tag north of $70000 USD. For those seeking a more budget-friendly alternative, there’s Unitree Robotics’ Go1. Starting at $2700, it could be the perfect human companion, as the robot not only has a top speed of 10.6 mph, but boasts “Intelligent Side-Follow”, a system designed to do run right alongside its owner.

This robot may not have the huge price tag, but it still features a super sensory system that consists of five sets of fish-eye stereo depth cameras as well as three sets of hypersonic sensors for obstacle avoidance. There’s no need to worry about it overheating, as there’s an integrated heat pipe cooling system. On a full charge you can expect around 90-minutes of continuous use. Available in Go1 Air ($2700), Go1 ($3500), and Go1 Edu ($8500), each model weighs in at around 26-pounds, with the main difference between the three being processing power.
