Rent the Unitree Go2 Edu — the fastest quadruped for AI research, content, and live demos
A 5 m/s robot dog with Nvidia Jetson Xavier, 4D LiDAR, full ROS2 SDK, and the agility to run, jump, climb stairs, and navigate any terrain. Go2 Edu is the research-grade configuration — no restrictions, full programmability.
Supervised use · Availability by country and project type
Why research teams choose the Go2 Edu
Go2 Edu is not a consumer gadget or a demo-only platform. It is the configuration built for teams that write code, run experiments, and push the boundaries of what quadruped robots can do.
Fastest quadruped commercially available
At 5 m/s (18 km/h), Go2 Edu outruns every other rental-grade robot dog on the market. It also jumps, climbs stairs, crosses rough terrain, and performs backflips — giving locomotion researchers genuine data to work with.
Full SDK — no restrictions
The Edu version gives you complete access: ROS2, Python 3, and C++ with no platform restrictions. Write custom motion policies, integrate your own sensors, or connect external compute — the platform gets out of your way.
Jetson Xavier integrated — 21 TOPS
The Nvidia Jetson Xavier is built in. 21 TOPS of AI compute runs on-device, enabling real-time inference for SLAM, object detection, navigation stacks, and embodied AI experiments without an external machine.
Viral on camera — serious in the lab
Go2 Edu is used in research at Carnegie Mellon, MIT CSAIL, and ETH Zürich — and has accumulated over 100M views across social platforms. It is technically credible and visually striking in equal measure.
Trusted by top research institutions worldwide
Go2 Edu is the platform researchers reach for when locomotion, SLAM, and embodied AI work needs to be done on real hardware.
Who rents the Go2 Edu
Go2 Edu serves two very different audiences: researchers who need a serious development platform, and creators who need a robot that looks incredible on camera.
AI locomotion research
For teams developing motion policies, reinforcement learning on real hardware, terrain adaptation, and quadruped dynamics research.
SLAM & autonomous navigation
For computer vision teams running simultaneous localization and mapping, path planning experiments, and navigation stack development.
Film & viral content production
For creators, directors, and brand teams who need a robot that reads cinematically — running, jumping, and navigating complex spaces on camera.
Events & live demos
For brand activations, trade shows, exhibitions, and live demonstrations where a fast, agile, photogenic robot dog stops crowds cold.
STEM education
For universities and technical programs bringing a real quadruped into robotics courses, AI labs, and student research projects.
Inspection & security proof-of-concept
For teams building inspection or security demonstrations — proving autonomous quadruped patrol and remote sensing concepts before committing to purchase.
Is the Go2 Edu right for your project?
We would rather be clear than oversell it.
Right fit
- ✓AI locomotion and motion research
- ✓SLAM and autonomous navigation development
- ✓Content shoots and viral video production
- ✓Events and supervised public demonstrations
- ✓STEM and university robotics education
- ✓Entertainment and brand activations
- ✓Proof-of-concept inspection demos
Not the right fit
- ✕Fully autonomous unsupervised security patrol
- ✕Heavy load carrying (over 8 kg)
- ✕Indoor carpet-only environments (limited terrain benefit)
- ✕Projects expecting a humanoid or bipedal robot
- ✕Unsupervised public deployment
Go2 Edu is best positioned as a supervised research and showcase platform — the most capable quadruped available for teams that develop, not just demo.
Why Go2 Edu
The research-grade configuration — built for teams that develop, not just demo.
Unitree Go2 Edu
The Edu configuration is Unitree's full-access research variant. Everything the Go2 Pro does, plus an integrated Nvidia Jetson Xavier with 21 TOPS of AI compute, complete SDK access with no restrictions, 4D 360° LiDAR, and 4-hour battery life. Built for developers, researchers, and anyone who wants to run their own code on a real quadruped.
