Unitree As2-W Edu with AI Computer 100 TOPS
Unitree As2-W Edu Ultimate is an advanced configuration of the As2-W EDU platform, combining wheel-legged kinematics with 16 degrees of freedom and a separate computational module with a performance of 100 TOPS. The robot is designed for R&D laboratories, universities, and developers of autonomous systems and Embodied AI. The Ultimate package includes an extended sensor stack with three depth cameras and an additional LiDAR Livox Mid-360 for building 3D navigation algorithms.
Advantages of Unitree As2-W Edu Ultimate
- Wheel kinematics. The robot combines the speed of wheeled movement and the high passability of a quadruped system. The device reaches a working speed of up to 3.7 m/s and overcomes difficult terrain with stairs.
- Joint drives 95 Nm. Low-inertia electric motors provide precise and smooth control of limb movements. The drives are equipped with industrial cross-roller bearings, dual position sensors, and a local air cooling system.
- 16 degrees of freedom DoF. The 16-degree design allows dynamic clearance changes, body position adaptation, and inclined movement.
- Computational module 100 TOPS. The additional module provides fast data processing from sensors, AI algorithms, and computer vision directly on the robot, without connecting to an external computer.
- Ultimate sensor complex. The system is equipped with an industrial LiDAR, HD camera, additional LiDAR Livox Mid-360, and three depth cameras to help the robot accurately determine the shape, distance, and location of surrounding objects.
- High autonomy. The 15000 mAh lithium battery provides over 3 hours of operation or movement up to 30 km without additional load.
- High static strength. The mechanical platform withstands a static load of up to 150 kg and can carry up to 16 kg of cargo in motion.
- Support for Isaac Sim and SDK. Developers gain access to robot models, simulation interfaces, and secondary development tools for algorithm testing in a virtual environment.
- IP54 protection. The protected body made of aluminum alloy and high-strength engineering plastic is designed for operation in a temperature range from -20 °C to +50 °C.
Wheel Platform and 16 Degrees of Freedom
The As2-W robot dog is built on a wheel-legged scheme. Its four limbs are equipped with 7-inch wheels with a diameter of 178 mm, allowing fast and energy-efficient movement on flat surfaces. The design has 16 degrees of freedom and 16 drive electric motors in the joints. Each joint is driven by a high-speed synchronous electric motor with permanent magnets and a low-inertia internal rotor. The moving nodes use industrial cross-roller bearings designed for significant radial and axial loads. Dual position sensors ensure movement accuracy, and a local air cooling system maintains stable operating temperatures for the drives.
Speed and Passability of Unitree As2-W Edu Ultimate
The robotic platform is designed to operate in challenging environments:
- Working speed: from 0 to 3.7 m/s.
- Peak speed: about 6 m/s.
- Slope angle: the robot climbs inclined surfaces with an angle of up to 45°.
- Steps: the height of overcoming a single step is up to 30 cm.
- Maximum obstacle height (Max Climb Height): from 0.4 to 0.8 m depending on the nature of the barrier and trajectory.
By combining wheels and joints, the robot can transition from fast rolling to walking, adapting the body height to overcome thresholds, inclines, or unstable ground.
Load Capacity
When assessing the load on the platform, two mode parameters should be distinguished:
- Static load: in a standing position, the mechanics hold a mass of about 150 kg.
- Working load: the maximum mass of useful equipment during continuous walking or rolling is about 16 kg.
Adhering to the working load limit of 16 kg ensures the preservation of movement dynamics, controllability, and the calculated service life of the drives.
Autonomy and Battery
The robot dog is equipped with a removable high-capacity lithium battery of 15000 mAh with a working voltage of 36–50.4 V. Without additional load, it can move continuously for over 3 hours or cover about 30 km. With a useful load of 16 kg, the continuous operation time is over 2 hours, and the range is about 25 km. A complete fast charger 50.4 V / 7.4 A is used for charging. The charging station is not included in the basic Edu Ultimate package and is available separately as additional equipment.
Edu Ultimate Perception System
The Ultimate configuration combines the basic sensors of the As2-W EDU platform and an extended navigation complex. The core of the robot dog's sensor system consists of a high-resolution camera for visual control and an industrial multi-beam LiDAR with 64–128 lines. The body also includes a microphone array and front lighting for low-light operation. The Edu Ultimate package includes three depth cameras. They determine the distance to nearby objects, help detect obstacles, and more accurately assess the shape and irregularities of the surface directly in front of the robot's wheels. The robot dog is additionally equipped with a Livox Mid-360 laser sensor. With a wide field of view, it recognizes objects around the robot and helps create a three-dimensional map of the environment, determine the device's position in space, and ensure autonomous movement through complex terrain.
100 TOPS for AI and Autonomous Navigation
The main functions of the robot dog are controlled by a high-performance 8-core central processor. In the Edu Ultimate configuration, the system is additionally equipped with a separate computational module with a performance of 100 TOPS. It processes data from three depth cameras, the Livox Mid-360 sensor, and the standard LiDAR, supports the operation of computer vision systems, analyzes sensor information in real-time, and allows AI models to run directly on the robot.

Practical Recommendations
- Testing in a virtual environment. Before running commands on the robot, check control and navigation algorithms in Isaac Sim.
- Load control. When installing additional equipment, ensure its total mass does not exceed 16 kg, otherwise, the robot's speed and maneuverability may deteriorate.
- Considering autonomy time. Over 3 hours of operation is achieved when moving without additional load on a flat surface.
- Protection from dust and moisture. The body has an IP54 protection rating, so the robot can operate in the presence of dust and water splashes but is not designed for immersion in water.
- Using GPS and 4G. For the Mainland China version, these functions may require additional user authorization.
- Distribution of computational tasks. Use the built-in 8-core processor for basic movement control functions, and the 100 TOPS module for processing three-dimensional data, computer vision systems, and AI models.
