Galgotias University was asked to vacate its stall at the AI Summit in Delhi after a robotic dog displayed at its booth as an ‘in-house innovation’ was identified as a commercially available Chinese product, government sources said. The robot showcased by the Galgotias University as ‘Orion’ was recognised by observers as the ‘Unitree Go2‘ made by Chinese robotics firm Unitree. The AI-powered Chinese robot dog that has now grabbed attention is not a new innovation.
According to reports, the Unitree Go2, developed by Chinese robotics company Unitree Robotics, has been available in the global market since
2023.
Galgotias University robot dog price
The robotic dog displayed at the University’s stall has been identified as ‘Unitree Go2’, a commercially available quadruped robot sold in India for about Rs 2–3 lakh. The Unitree Go2 robot dog (Air, Pro, and EDU versions) is available for purchase in India through specialized robotics and drone distributors. Key websites offering the Go2 include Robu.in, Etherbit.in, Xboom.in, FlySpark.in, Everse.in, and Dronevex.in.
Unitree Robotics officially launched the Unitree Go2 on July 12, 2023. The company introduced it as a second-generation consumer-grade quadruped robot, following the earlier Go1 model released in 2021. The company positioned the Go2 as a smarter and more cost-effective robotic dog, tailored for research, educational purposes, and advanced consumer applications.
Robot dog price in India
Many people are searching for the Unitree Go2 price in India after the robot recently went viral. Globally, the pricing begins at:
US$1,600 for the Go2 Air variant (approximately ₹1.45 lakh)US$2,800 for the Go2 Pro variant (around ₹2.32–2.55 lakh)
Shipping charges typically range between US$399 and US$1,000, depending on the model and delivery location.
In comparison, Unitree’s industrial-grade quadrupeds such as the B1 and B2 are priced at nearly US$100,000, making the Go2 a far more affordable option for universities, developers, and robotics enthusiasts.
“The Unitree Go2 Pro is a powerful and intelligent quadruped robot designed for tech enthusiasts and advanced users alike. It measures 27.6″x12.2″x15.7″ and weighs just 33 lbs, yet carries up to 17.8 lbs and reaches speeds of 3.5 m/s. Its advanced joint mobility allows it to climb 40° slopes and overcome 6.3″ obstacles. An 8000 mAh battery provides 1–2 hours of operation,” the Amazon description of Unitree Go2 Pro reads.
