Lesson 1: Advanced Robotics with the Unitree Go2

Welcome to your first lesson in advanced robotics! You'll be introduced to the Unitree Go2, a sophisticated quadruped robot designed for learning and research. This lesson will cover the robot's advanced features, hardware architecture, and give you hands-on experience piloting it.

Learning Objectives

In this lesson, you will:

• Explore the robot's hardware components:
  • Core processing unit
  • Sensor system (LiDAR, IMU, cameras)
  • Communication modules
  • Motors and power management
  • Interaction systems
• Understand the software framework:
  • DDS (Data Distribution Service)
  • Sport, SLAM, LiDAR, and Graphic services
• Master basic robot piloting:
  • Safety protocols and power procedures
  • Controller operation and basic maneuvers
  • Advanced modes (posing, damping, running)
  • Pre-programmed actions and tricks
