Unitree Robots Use Cases: Humanoid & Quadruped Robots
Robots for Real-World Applications Across Industries
Explore how humanoid robots and quadruped robots can support research, education, public engagement, brand experiences, events, and media production. Tell us your scenario — we’ll recommend the right setup.
Pick Your Path
Choose the fastest route based on who you are — we’ll tailor recommendations for your use case and timeline.
EDU / Institutions
- University labs, K12 STEM programs, vocational training, research groups
- Need EDU pricing, documentation, curriculum suggestions, purchase guidance
Business / Events / Media
- Showrooms, museums, hotels, conferences, filming & content production
- Need stable demos, scripted performances, interactive experiences
How It Works
Tell us your scenario → get a recommended setup → deploy with training guidance. Fast, practical, and tailored.
Industry, venue (indoor/outdoor), audience size, timeline, and your goal (demo / education / R&D / public engagement).
We’ll propose a humanoid + quadruped configuration, accessories, and a simple run-of-show or project outline.
We’ll share operation & safety suggestions, deployment checklist, and after-sales coordination guidance.
Quick Inquiry (1 minute)
Share a few details and we’ll respond with a recommended setup and next steps. EDU / institutions can also apply for EDU pricing.
Industry Use Cases
Each use case includes typical tasks and a quick “humanoid + quadruped” recommendation.
Lab & R&D (Research & Development)
- ROS2 / SDK integration, perception & navigation experiments
- SLAM, mapping, path planning, obstacle avoidance
- Vision + speech interaction, data collection & replay
- Legged locomotion studies (gait, balance, terrain)
Retail & Showroom (Brand Experience)
- Greeting & guided tours for showrooms / stores
- Product explanations, scheduled demo routines
- Interactive photo moments & social sharing
- Event scripts: “intro → highlight → Q&A → call-to-action”
Education (K12 / University / Training)
- STEM demonstrations, robotics clubs, capstone projects
- AI + robotics curriculum support (vision, speech, autonomy)
- Hands-on programming: control, perception, navigation
- Open house & campus outreach demos
Museum / Planetarium / Science Center
- Timed performances and educational storytelling
- Exhibit greeter + guided walkthrough
- Voice-based Q&A (networked LLM integration scenarios)
- Safe interaction design for crowds and families
Hospitality / Conferences / Events
- Welcome & photo moments at entrances
- Wayfinding: “registration → ballroom → booth A”
- Stage intros and scripted mini-performances
- Booth lead capture support (QR → form → follow-up)
Media / Content / Film Production
- Repeatable movement routines for filming
- Brand ads, music videos, short-form content hooks
- Choreographed actions & safety planning on set
- Quick setup: “arrive → rehearse → shoot → wrap”
Model Quick Compare (Humanoid vs Quadruped)
Use this as a fast decision guide. If you tell us your venue, audience size, and timeline, we’ll recommend the best-fit configuration.
| Category | Humanoid Robots (G1 / R1) | Quadruped Robots (Go2 / A2) |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Showroom hosting, public talks, museum storytelling, on-stage presence, guided explanations | Roaming demos, mobility + navigation projects, dynamic movement, action-focused experiences |
| Typical tasks | Greeting, explaining, presenting, interactive Q&A, scripted routines, photo moments | Autonomous navigation experiments, patrol routes (lightweight), motion demos, terrain tests, SLAM labs |
| Developer / R&D angle | Human-robot interaction (HRI), speech/vision pipelines, interaction design, manipulation-focused experiments | SLAM & navigation stacks, locomotion studies, autonomy, mobility experiments and field evaluation |
| EDU friendliness | High engagement in classrooms/open houses; great for explaining AI & robotics concepts to audiences | Excellent for programming, autonomy labs, robotics clubs, hands-on mobility projects |
| Buying goal | Maximize public impact and engagement — “talking/hosting/presenting” | Maximize mobility and experimentation — “moving/navigating/action” |
Tip: Many organizations deploy both: a humanoid as the “host” plus a quadruped for roaming demos. If you share your audience size, venue, and goals, we can propose a deploy-ready plan.

FAQ
Which should I choose: humanoid or quadruped?
Humanoids are ideal for public engagement, presenting, and human-like interaction. Quadrupeds excel at mobility, navigation experiments, and dynamic movement demos. Many customers run both: humanoid for talking/hosting, quadruped for roaming demos.
Do you support EDU / institutional purchasing?
Yes — if you’re a school, university, lab, or public education institution, use the EDU Purchase Program to request EDU pricing and purchase guidance.
Can robots be used for interactive Q&A with an AI/LLM?
In many scenarios, interactive Q&A can be implemented when the robot is in a networked environment, using voice input/output workflows. Share your target experience (crowd size, language, content scope, latency expectations), and we’ll suggest an approach.
Can you help us plan a live demo or event?
Yes — we can suggest a demo structure (welcome → highlight → interaction → call-to-action), safety considerations, and a repeatable script based on your venue and audience.
