Wang Xingxing built the XDog quadruped while pursuing his master’s degree. The prototype used low-cost brushless motors, an approach that carried into his work on more accessible legged robots at Unitree.
Unitree Products
Unitree Company Development
Humanoids Join the Quadruped Product Line
Unitree established a range of four-legged robots before adding humanoids. The move changes the physical tasks its products can pursue: a quadruped is a mobile platform, while a humanoid can be built to interact with tools and spaces designed around people.
Unitree Competitive Landscape
Body Form and the Task It Has to Perform
Unitree spans quadrupeds and humanoids, whereas a humanoid-first developer such as Figure concentrates on human-scale manipulation. A buyer or research team choosing between platforms has to start with the required body form and environment.
