Unitree Unveils As2: A Heavy-Duty Robot Dog With 143-Pound Payload and 11 MPH Top Speed

Unitree Robotics announced the As2, a high-performance quadruped robot built for demanding outdoor and industrial environments. Weighing about 18 kg with its battery, the As2 delivers up to 90 N·m of joint torque, runs above 5 m/s (11 mph), and can carry a standing payload of up to 65 kg (143 lbs) in its EDU variant. A 648Wh battery provides over 4 hours of runtime and 20+ km range unloaded. The robot features IP54 dust and rain resistance, operates in temperatures from -20°C to 50°C, and handles 25 cm stairs and 40-degree slopes. It comes in three versions: AIR (basic), PRO (with 64-128 line LiDAR and intelligent side-follow), and EDU (with NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX expansion for embodied AI development). The EDU model is designed as an open platform for developers building autonomous applications. Unitree continues to expand its product line beyond humanoids, positioning the As2 as a workhorse for logistics, inspection, and outdoor operations.

DEEP Robotics Deploys Lynx M20 Quadrupeds to Haul Crops in Mountainous Farmland

Chinese quadruped maker DEEP Robotics is deploying its Lynx M20 robot dogs to help transport harvested crops across mountainous farmland, tackling the rural 'last mile' logistics challenge where traditional vehicles can't reach. Featured in IEEE Spectrum's Video Friday, the four-legged robots navigate steep, uneven terrain to carry produce from remote hillside plots to collection points — a task that has historically relied on manual labor. The deployment represents a practical commercial use case for quadruped robots beyond the usual industrial inspection and security patrol applications, showing how legged robots can solve real problems in agriculture where wheeled or tracked vehicles simply can't go.

China's 'Big 5' Humanoid Robot Companies to Make First Collective Appearance in Korea

China's five leading humanoid robot manufacturers — AGIBOT, Unitree, Fourier, Leju, and Huawei — will gather in Seoul for the first time at Automation World 2026 (March 4–6). AGIBOT, described as the world's No. 1 company in global humanoid robot shipments, plans live demonstrations of its X2 and G2 robots. Unitree will showcase its G1, and Leju will demo its Kuavo 4th Generation Pro. The event also features a China Humanoid Robot Conference with keynotes on commercialization roadmaps and global expansion strategies. The gathering signals intensifying international competition in the humanoid robot market, with Korea emerging as a key hub for the industry's next chapter.

Unitree Deploys Dozens of G1 Humanoids for Synchronized Kung Fu at Beijing's Temple of Heaven

Unitree Robotics released footage of dozens of G1 humanoid robots performing synchronized martial arts in front of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests at Beijing's Temple of Heaven. The robots executed coordinated punches, kicks, high-difficulty flips, and formation walking with precise timing — building on their Spring Festival Gala performance where G1 units completed autonomous somersaults reaching 3 meters and running at 4 m/s. The demonstration used Unitree's Cluster Cooperative Rapid Scheduling System to coordinate the fleet without human intervention. The company plans to ship 20,000 humanoid robots in 2026, roughly quadrupling last year's output of 5,500 units.
