China presents a robot capable of carrying adults over rough terrain

And all-terrain quadruped robot capable of performing all kinds of stunts and maneuvers, and even transporting an adult over rough terrain, has been presented by the Chinese firm Unitree Robotics.

It is a company based in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, focusing on the research and development, production and sales of high-performance, industrial-class general-purpose humanoid and legged robots, six-axis manipulators, etc A video of this quadruped robot called B2-W robot dog has been posted on the company’s X account.

The person responsible for developing the B2-W at the company told the Global Times that the robot dog is capable of performing tasks such as facility inspections and all-terrain search and rescue operations.

Quadruped robots stand out for their ability to cross obstacles and are better suited to various complex terrains. They have strong structural stability and agile mobility. These characteristics give quadruped robots a clear advantage in complex, uncertain and unstructured environments, Hebei Daily reported.

In logistics and transportation, quadruped robots can transport goods in complex environments, improving logistics efficiency and safety while reducing labor costs and risks.
