Overview

The best-value capable robot dog. A Go2 Pro + Orin Nano Super backpack (≈ $3,100) adds serious on-board compute, for owners who accept the unofficial SDK.

The obvious pick, with one catch. Unitree locks SDK2 to EDU. The community go2_webrtc_connect / go2_ros2_sdk projects let an external computer (e.g. a Jetson Orin Nano carried as a backpack) drive it, read lidar and stream video, it works, but can break with firmware updates.

Air, Pro and X prices are from Unitree's store, before tax and freight. Unitree does not list prices for the EDU, EDU Plus or Go2-W, so those are Top3DShop prices (October 2026). Specs come from Unitree's Go2 and Go2-W pages, and the EDU and EDU Plus Jetson modules from RoboStore's listings. The X, EDU and EDU Plus can sprint to about 5 m/s. The Go2-W's Orin NX (100 TOPS) module is sold separately. "Not listed" means Unitree's Go2-W page does not mention it.

Price and shipping

Unitree's store lists the Air at $1,600, Pro at $2,800 and X at $4,500 (controller $250 extra on Air and Pro), plus $399–1,000 shipping (October 2026). Some US resellers list the Pro at $3,790
