Unitree Go2
A compact quadruped, often called a robot dog, from Unitree's consumer and education range. A practical way to trial legged robotics, for research and education, and for lighter patrol and demonstration work.

Unitree B2 and Unitree robots in Australia
TOM SHAW supplies and integrates Unitree robots for organisations across Australia: the Unitree B2 industrial quadruped, the Go2 robot dog, and the G1 and H1 humanoids, put to work in your security, inspection and automation use cases.
Supplied and integrated, not just shipped
TOM SHAW supplies Unitree robots in Australia and integrates them into the jobs you need done: security patrols, site inspection, intelligence gathering and asset automation. We work alongside TOM SHAW Robotics, so a robot arrives as part of a working solution rather than as a box to unpack.
A legged robot is only useful once it is doing something specific on your site. We start from the task, help you choose the Unitree model that suits it, and then connect it with the rest of your operation.
The Unitree models we supply
Four Unitree robots, each with a different role. The Unitree B2's published specifications are summarised below; for the other models, see each model's page on Unitree's own website.
Unitree B2
Unitree's industrial-grade quadruped, aimed at inspection and work in industrial settings, where a robot has to cover rough ground and keep going. A wheel-legged version, the B2-W, is also available.
Unitree G1
A humanoid robot: a two-legged, two-armed platform for exploring how humanoids can work in spaces designed for people, and for research and development.
Unitree H1
Unitree's full-size humanoid robot, for organisations working on what human-scale robots can do in real environments.
Unitree B2: the industrial quadruped
The Unitree B2 is Unitree's industrial-grade quadruped robot: a four-legged platform of about 60 kg, rated IP67, built to carry sensors and payloads over stairs, slopes, rubble and rough ground. Unitree positions it for power inspection, industrial inspection and emergency rescue work.
Compared with the compact Go2, the B2 is a much larger and heavier machine, designed for long, loaded walks on industrial sites rather than for education and demonstrations. It carries a 3D LiDAR plus depth and optical cameras (the exact set depends on configuration), has room for additional compute, and exposes Ethernet, USB and power ports so you can mount your own payloads.
Unitree B2 specifications
The figures below are as Unitree publishes them on its B2 page. Unitree notes that they vary with configuration and application, that some functions need human operation or secondary development, and that the top speed is reached only in special configurations, with a speed limit applied in practice for safety.

Unitree B2-W: the wheel-legged version
The B2-W puts wheels on the ends of the B2's legs, so it can roll quickly over flat ground and still walk, step and climb when the terrain gets rough. Unitree lists it at about 85 kg with the battery, a battery of more than 2 kWh, a top speed of 15 km/h and up to 25 km with a 40 kg load (both in special configurations), about 30 km without a load, 225 mm wheels, IP67 protection and the same -20 °C to 55 °C operating range. See the B2-W on Unitree's website.
What the Unitree B2 is used for
- Power and utility inspection: Unitree lists power inspection as a lead application, for routine rounds of power facilities, carrying cameras and sensors.
- Industrial inspection: Unitree highlights infrared scanning, 3D mapping and optimised environmental perception.
- Emergency response: Unitree shows the B2 working over long stairs, rock piles and steep slopes.
- Security patrols: repeatable rounds of large or hazardous sites, with the robot's sensors feeding the people who act on what it finds.
- Research and development: a separate user-development computer and open interfaces make it a platform for building your own capabilities.
Unitree B2 or Go2?
The Go2 is a compact quadruped from Unitree's consumer and education range, suited to trials, research, education and lighter patrol work. The B2 is the industrial machine: heavier, IP67-rated, able to carry much more and walk for longer. If the robot needs to work outdoors on an industrial site with a real payload, the B2 is usually the starting point; if you are exploring what legged robots could do for you, the Go2 is a lower-commitment way to begin.
Putting a B2 to work
A B2 arrives as a capable platform, not a finished inspection or patrol system. The work is in choosing the configuration and payloads, planning routes, connecting the robot's data to your systems, and securing it as a networked device. That is the part TOM SHAW looks after.
How TOM SHAW helps
Choosing the right robot
We start with what you need the robot to do, where it will work and who will operate it, and recommend the Unitree model that fits, rather than the biggest one.
Supply in Australia
We source the robot for you and deliver it to your organisation in Australia.
Integration into your use case
We put the robot to work in your security, inspection and automation use cases, alongside TOM SHAW Robotics, and connect it with the systems your team already uses where that is needed.
Security from the start
TOM SHAW is a cyber security company. A connected robot is another device on your network, so we treat it like one: we think about where it connects, who can control it and where its data goes before it goes live.
Where legged and humanoid robots fit
- Security patrols: repeatable rounds of a site, so people can focus on what the patrol finds.
- Inspection: walking routes through plant, yards and facilities that are hard, dull or hazardous for people.
- Intelligence gathering: carrying cameras and sensors to collect information from places that are difficult to reach.
- Research, education and trials: exploring what robots can do for your organisation before a wider rollout.
Unitree or Ghost Robotics?
TOM SHAW also supplies and integrates Ghost Robotics quadruped robots, including the Vision 60, for defence, government and industrial work. Which brand fits depends on the mission, the environment and your organisation's requirements. Tell us what the robot needs to do and we will recommend one.

What is the Unitree B2?
The Unitree B2 is Unitree's industrial-grade quadruped robot. It weighs about 60 kg with its battery, is rated IP67, and is aimed at inspection, emergency response and other work on industrial sites.
How fast is the Unitree B2?
Unitree lists a top speed of over 6 m/s, but notes that this is reached only in special configurations and that a speed limit is applied in practice for safety.
How much can the Unitree B2 carry?
Unitree publishes a standing load of 120 kg or more and a walking load of over 40 kg.
How long does the Unitree B2 battery last?
Unitree lists more than 4 hours of continuous walking with a 20 kg load (over 15 km), and more than 5 hours without a load (over 20 km). The 2250 Wh battery is quick-change, and autonomous charging is an option.
Is the Unitree B2 waterproof?
The B2 is rated IP67, which means it is dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion in water. Unitree lists an operating range of -20 °C to 55 °C.
Can the Unitree B2 climb stairs?
Yes. Unitree lists continuous climbing of 20 to 25 cm stairs, steps and obstacles of up to 40 cm, and slopes steeper than 45°.
What is the difference between the Unitree B2 and B2-W?
The B2-W is the wheel-legged version of the B2: it has wheels on its feet, so it can roll over flat ground and walk over rough ground. It is heavier, at about 85 kg, and Unitree lists a longer range than the walking B2.
How much does a Unitree B2 cost in Australia?
