ZeroGantry verdict: 4 out of 5
Go2 is the democratization play Spot never made. The Air SKU at roughly sixteen hundred dollars put a LiDAR-equipped quadruped in dorm rooms and high-school STEM labs. Performance is real enough for patrol demos and research, but calling it an industrial inspector is a category error — ANYmal and Spot still own hazardous sites. Buy Go2 to learn locomotion and perception; buy ANYmal when a plant manager’s insurance broker is in the room.
What sets Unitree Go2 apart
- Built-in 4D LiDAR for autonomous navigation at consumer price point
