2025: Issue
Unitree Robotics has introduced a four-legged consumer class Go2 robot adapted for use in greenhouse farms and monitoring plant growing conditions. The $1600 robotic device is equipped with specialized cameras and agricultural sensors to monitor the state of seedlings in real time. This was announced by the company on July 25, 2025.
According to iGrow News, the robotic platform is Go2 integrated into the greenhouse environment to automate crop monitoring and analysis processes. The device is a cost-effective solution for modern crop production due to stable operation and scaling capabilities.
The robot dog is equipped with a special model of artificial intelligence developed for specific scenarios of application in agriculture. The machine learning algorithm allows the device to analyze and automatically determine the state of plants without human involvement.
The system is based on peripheral computing technology, which provides data processing directly on the device without the need for constant connection to external servers. This approach reduces information transmission delays and improves system reliability.
The data collected by the robot is transferred to a centralized management platform for further analysis and decision-making. The platform uses big data technologies to generate targeted planting strategies appropriate to the current stage of plant growth.
The integrated workflow spans the entire cycle, from terminal device to cloud computing. This makes it possible to create a single greenhouse management ecosystem with automated collection and processing of information on the state of plants.[1]
2024: Market Entry
In early September 2024, it became known that Chinese robotic dogs equipped with a flamethrower went on sale. The cost of such machines is about $100 thousand.
According to the resource Interested Engineering, the novelty is based on the Go2 model of the Chinese robotic company Unitree. This dog is equipped with a Unitree 4D LIDAR L1 lidar with an ultra-small blind spot and a minimum detection distance of 0.05 m. Algorithms based on artificial intelligence allow you to perform complex actions such as walking upside down, adaptive turning and overcoming all kinds of obstacles. The maximum running speed is 5 m/s.
The equipment of the robot includes Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 wireless adapters, as well as a 4G cellular module. There is an HD camera, microphone and a set of different sensors. The claimed battery life on a single battery charge varies from two to four hours.
A flamethrower module is installed on the back of the cyberdog. It is noted that the design of the Chinese robot resembles the Thermonator model, which is produced by the American company Throwflame. This robotic dog is equipped with the ARC Flamethrower system, which allows you to eject a jet of flame over a distance of about 9 m. Plasma ignition is used on gasoline or diesel. The machine has a universal attachment system and a capacious battery.
The Chinese robot is able to respond to voice commands by performing certain actions. Depending on the embodiment, a payload weighing from 7 to 8 kg can be used. The maximum elevation angle reaches 40 degrees. The design uses aluminum alloy and high-strength plastic. Together with the battery pack, the robot weighs about 15 kg.[2]
