Showroom and events
Fast visual impact with fewer balance, safety and manipulation constraints than adult humanoids.
Quadruped robots
Quadruped robots and robot dogs: the practical entry point
Quadrupeds are usually easier to demonstrate, easier to source and less risky than adult humanoids. For many Bybotix projects, they are the first serious physical AI platform to evaluate.
A robot dog often teaches 80% of the operational lessons of an humanoid project, with a lower budget and faster feedback loop.
Platforms followed
Start with maturity, sensors, software access and support.
Unitree Robotics
Commercially available
Unitree Go2
Go2 is a small quadruped available in AIR, PRO, X and EDU versions. Battery, features and programming access vary by version.
Boston Dynamics
Available for professional inspection
Boston Dynamics Spot
Spot is a quadruped designed for inspection. It can run scheduled missions with sensors and software suited to the site.
Unitree Robotics
Commercially available
Unitree As2
As2 is a compact 20 kg quadruped. AIR, PRO, X and EDU versions have different equipment.
Unitree Robotics
Commercially available
Unitree A2
A2 is an industrial quadruped with two swappable batteries, intended for inspection and carrying loads. The range includes A2 and A2-PRO.
Use cases
Where quadrupeds are already useful.
Education
Good platform to teach perception, navigation, ROS, teleoperation and project discipline.
Light inspection prototypes
Useful for first trials when the environment and safety perimeter are clearly bounded.
Bybotix discipline
We still verify CE, warranty, parts and use-case fit.
What this page does
- Compare Air, Pro and EDU-style configurations.
- Check batteries, chargers, sensors and SDK access.
- Clarify whether the project is demo, education or inspection.
What it does not claim
- Sell a consumer robot dog as an industrial inspection solution by default.
- Hide accessory and training costs.
- Promise autonomous safety beyond documented capabilities.
