Unitree launches the A2, a 37 kg industrial quadruped with front and rear LiDAR that supports 100 kg standing, carries 25 kg while walking and covers up to 20 km unloaded.

### Background In early August 2025, Unitree, the Chinese champion of low-cost quadrupeds, introduced the A2, a robot designed for inspection, logistics and research. It sits between the consumer Go2 and the heavy industrial B2, with an emphasis on perception and endurance. ### Specifications - Weight about 37 kg without battery according to The Robot Report (35 kg without and 42 kg with battery according to the official spec sheet). - Payload: about 100 kg standing, about 25 kg walking (up to 35 kg in ideal conditions). - Range: over 5 hours and about 20 km unloaded; over 3 hours and about 12.5 km with 25 kg. - Top speed of about 5 m/s; can climb up to 1 m. - Perception: industrial LiDARs front and rear (PRO version), HD camera and front light. - Two swappable battery slots (453.6 Wh each). ### Why it matters The A2 illustrates Unitree's strategy: bringing industrial quadruped robotics to price and availability levels that compete directly with Boston Dynamics' Spot and ANYbotics models. ### Key takeaways Date uncertain: August 5, 2025 according to several outlets, August 8 according to The Robot Report; pricing was not disclosed.
