Unitree As2 Robots Coming Soon At Scan
Scan partner Unitree has announced a new range of quadruped robots, the As2 series, which will soon be available to try and buy.
The As2 is based on the features of the existing Go2 series, but is designed for industrial inspections, heavy payload, and long-range operations in difficult conditions, rather than the Go2’s consumer / education focus. The As2 models features up to 12 DOF across its body allowing fluid motion driven by precise, low‑inertia motors with dual encoders for accurate feedback and smooth control. The As2 offers up to 5x the payload and double the top speed of the Go2, coupled with an IP54 ruggedised build and significantly better battery life too.

Robots represent the next step in the evolution of AI – ushering in the era of physical AI. To make the most of quadruped robots such as the Unitree As2 you need a way to efficiently and safely train them using AI models before they are deployed in the real world. Scan is at the forefront of this revolution, helping organisations develop and deploy AI-powered robots using digital twin platforms such as NVIDIA Omniverse and NVIDIA AI frameworks.
