Unitree Go2 Has Joined the Classmethod Osaka Office!
Hello, I'm Fujii (Da) from the Manufacturing Business Technology Division. I'm the owner (?)
The Unitree Go2 has arrived at the Classmethod Osaka office!
It arrived at the Tokyo headquarters in February 2026, so about half a year later, it has finally arrived at the Osaka office too.
For an overview and specs of the Go2 itself, please read the following article.
Those who have visited events held at the Osaka office, such as the Claude Code Meetup, have already gotten a sneak peek, but I'd like to formally introduce it here.
If you'd like to see it in person, you may be able to do so by coming to events held at the Osaka office. We publish events on connpass, so please feel free to come to any event that interests you.
Unboxing
Here's what the outer box looks like.
A controller, a jig for adjusting the leg angles, and a battery.
Inside the box was a carry case.
Opening the carry case revealed the Go2. There's something exciting about seeing a machine neatly packed away, isn't there?
The rear legs are folded upward for storage. Looking at it this way, it kind of looks like a roasted whole bird.
The controller can be used on its own and has the operating commands written on it.
You can also slide a smartphone into it and operate it while viewing the camera feed.
Since this Go2 is the EDU version, the included battery is a long-life battery.
We also bought an extra one as a spare.
After charging and attaching the battery, you put it in the required pose before turning it on.
It doesn't stand up immediately — the boot process takes about 2 minutes.
Then it automatically stands up and is ready to go.
The rear end.
Trying It Out
First, I tried operating it with just the included controller.
The controller has each command listed on it, and by entering commands while referencing them, you can make it perform predefined actions.
There are multiple predefined actions, and amazingly, motions like bipedal walking, handstands, and jumping are defined as well.
Since it can perform so many actions without any additional training, it actually reduces the motivation to add new ones.
Also, although limited to the front, a collision avoidance mechanism is built in by default, so if there is a person or object in front and you try to move it forward with the controller, it will stop and not move.
Another thing that caught my attention is the footstep noise. It walks with surprisingly loud thumping sounds.
Depending on the floor material, thickness, and space, the sound can even carry to the floor below, so I felt this is something to be careful about.
(I'm sorry if it's actually been loud and bothersome)
Linking it with the Android/iPhone app expands the range of movements even further. You can operate it while viewing the camera feed or LiDAR, there's a Rage button included, and you can even do visual programming similar to Scratch.
We're Going Forward with Physical AI in Osaka Too
Just operating it with a controller makes it nothing more than an expensive remote-controlled toy. That would be a waste.
The Go2 that arrived this time is the EDU version, so it comes equipped with a dock on its back containing a Jetson Orin NX 16GB.
By deploying programs and models to this Jetson, or connecting to external machines or the cloud and giving instructions via SDK or ROS 2, it can be operated externally or move autonomously.
Receiving values from cameras and various sensors, having AI think based on that input, and moving its limbs. This is exactly Physical AI.
The Go2 has the foundation for that. We can use the Go2 to pursue Physical AI.
At the Osaka office, volunteer members from across departments will work together on Physical AI.
We'll Be Exhibiting at DevelopersIO 2026 Osaka
Over the two days of Monday 9/28 and Tuesday 9/29, we will be holding a Physical AI exhibition using this Go2 at "DevelopersIO 2026 Osaka," the offline DevelopersIO event held at the Classmethod Osaka office.
When the Go2 arrived, we had only decided to do it and the exhibition content was still undecided, but please look forward to it.
Note that the Go2 arrived at the end of August and DevelopersIO 2026 Osaka is at the end of September, so we only have one month and we're feeling the pressure.
Here is where to register for DevelopersIO 2026 Osaka. Registration is required for each day of the event.
You can check the other locations' DevelopersIO 2026 events here.
It seems the Nagoya office will also have a Go2 exhibition. This will be a separate exhibition from the one at the Osaka office.
In Closing
The Unitree Go2 has arrived at the Osaka office.
First, we will hold an exhibition at DevelopersIO 2026 Osaka at the end of September.
Please look forward to seeing what kind of exhibition it will be.
Going forward, volunteer members will continue working in the Physical AI space.
We'll keep putting out output on an ongoing basis, so we appreciate your continued support.
