SSS Super Perception System
The manufacturer identifies fisheye binocular depth perception and AI perception technologies as the basis of the Unitree Go1 system. An approximate detection angle of 150 × 170° is given for a pair of sensors. The page states that five sets of fisheye binocular depth perception are equivalent to the detection angles of four Intel RealSense units, and that five sets correspond to approximately 20 RealSense field-of-view groups.

Functions such as human recognition are indicated on the page.
Adequate ambient light and surface texture are required for binocular depth perception to work properly; interaction with ultrasonic sources is noted.
ISS Intelligent Companion System
Using patented wireless vector positioning and control technology, the robot follows the user within their lateral peripheral field of view rather than directly behind them. The manufacturer says this provides more natural interaction, reduces the need for the user to constantly look back, and makes it easier for the person to choose a route for the robot in complex environments.
ISS
Lateral following
It stays within the user's peripheral field of view.
—
Less looking back
The user can avoid having to constantly monitor the robot and obstacles.
—
Route selection
In complex environments, the user can choose a clearer route.
Wireless vector positioning may lose location information when a significant obstacle is between the person and the robot; the manufacturer recommends choosing an appropriate route.
Robust power transmission and flexible adaptive joints
The patented joint design is described as ultra-lightweight, low-noise, and long-lasting. The body/thigh C1-8 joint weighs 520 g and has a maximum torque of 23,70 N·m; the C1-8×1,5 ratio knee joint is rated at a maximum of 35,55 N·m. Heat-pipe-assisted heat dissipation is provided near the knee motor.

The Unitree Go1 TX2 values are comparative information from the manufacturer's page; configurations may differ among Go1 variants. Source price, stock availability, company warranty and sales information are not included.
High dynamic movement
Unitree Go1 delivers impressive speed performance on its own; the maximum speed stated by the manufacturer is approximately 4,7 m/s (17 km/h). This value reflects the device's performance under ideal test conditions; speed may be limited in actual use for safety and stability reasons, and the device may not reach this maximum under different environmental or operational conditions.
≈ 4,7 m/s (17 km/h)
Maximum speed claim
The manufacturer reports an approximate value from its final speed test.
Actual operating speed may be limited for safety/stability; cool weather is recommended for extended outdoor use.
Unitree's robotics milestones

Usage and technical conditions
Unitree Go1 is a robot platform intended for dynamic movement and high mobile performance. The manufacturer states that the delivered product may differ from the page image in color and minor details. Maximum speed applies to final test conditions and may be limited for safety and stability. Wireless positioning systems may be affected by obstacles; depth perception requires good lighting and textured surfaces. Cool weather is preferable for prolonged outdoor operation. It is recommended to maintain a safe distance while the robot is in use and not to let children touch a powered robot. Given the complexity of human living spaces, choosing a more open route is recommended whenever possible.
These source notes describe technical usage conditions; they should not be presented as a manufacturer warranty or a commitment by Robotik Çözümler.
