Built on Unitree
Unitree Robotics distributor and secondary developer
Unitree builds four-legged robots that climb stairs and cross rough ground, and humanoids that work in spaces made for people. We take those robots and turn them into working tools for classrooms, police departments, corrections facilities, security teams, and plants.
As a nationwide distributor and secondary developer for Unitree, we sell their robots exactly as they leave the factory, or as Stokes packages that arrive set up for the job with training for the people who will run them.
About Unitree Robotics
Unitree Robotics was founded in 2016 and builds legged robots in a wide range of sizes and forms to fit various use cases. Its quadrupeds come in three sizes, from the compact Go2 to the industrial B2, each with a wheel-legged version that rolls on flat ground and steps over obstacles. Its humanoids run from the 1.21-meter R1 to the full-size, 1.82-meter H2.
The Go2 and the humanoids come in base versions and EDU development versions. The EDU versions support secondary development, and Unitree supplies robot models and simulation interfaces that work in environments such as Isaac Sim. All three of our humanoid packages are built on EDU versions.
Stokes packages built on Unitree robots
Every Stokes package starts as a Unitree robot. The equipment we add, the way we configure it, and the training that comes with it depend on who will be running it.
| Unitree platform | Stokes package | Industries |
|---|---|---|
| Go2 | SHEP | Law enforcement, education, industrial |
| Go2-W | SHEP-W | Law enforcement, industrial |
| A2 and A2-W | Aero and Aero-W | Security |
| B2 | Bear, a CORAS® platform | Corrections, industrial |
| B2-W | Bear-W, a CORAS platform | Corrections |
| R1 EDU | Rise, 1.21 m | Education |
| G1 EDU | GiGi, 1.32 m | Industrial |
| H2 EDU | Hank, 1.82 m | Industrial |

How we develop on Unitree hardware
A Unitree robot walks, balances, and sees the world around it straight out of the box. Getting it to do a specific job for a specific team is where we come in.
We start from the right version
Unitree’s base R1, G1, and H2 humanoids are not open to programming, so every humanoid we build starts from an EDU version instead. The EDU robots carry far more onboard computing, 40 to 100 TOPS on the R1 EDU, depending on version, and 100 TOPS on the G1 EDU, which gives our software room to run.
We give the job its own computer
On robots like the A2, Unitree keeps the robot’s own functions on one processor and sets aside a separate Intel Core i7 for development. Software added for the job runs on that second computer without competing with the robot’s own systems, and CAN, Ethernet, and USB ports let us wire in extra sensors.
We fit the equipment the job calls for
Thermal cameras, gas sensors, navigation LiDAR, robotic arms, and dexterous hands all come from Unitree’s own accessory line, so they mount and talk to the robot the way they were designed to. We pick the combination that matches the work.
We set it up before it ships
Some Unitree configurations are sold as hardware only. The Go2-W inspection package, for example, comes without customization, site maps, or management software. A Stokes package arrives ready for its job, and your team is trained to run it.

Buy a Unitree base robot or a Stokes package
If your team writes its own code, a base Unitree robot may be all you need. If you would rather unpack a robot that is ready for its job, start with a package.

The same hardware, set up for a specific industry and task before it arrives, with curriculum and equipment where they fit and operator training before and after the sale.
Our history with Unitree robots
We started out in 2005 writing STEM curriculum for schools and have written robotics curriculum since 2013. That classroom background still shapes how we work with Unitree robots, and it is why we put so much weight on training the people who run them.
Our biggest stage so far came in February 2023, when eight of our Unitree Go1 robots performed with Jason Derulo at the Super Bowl LVII TikTok Tailgate in Glendale, Arizona. Choreography and programming that normally takes about a month came together in roughly a week. Read the full story.
