A Chinese company showed how its new robot overcomes difficult terrain and breaks through glass (3 photos + 1 video)
Unitree Robotics has demonstrated the capabilities of its new robot. The robotic dog is capable of overcoming difficult terrain with and without cargo, as well as crossing shallow bodies of water. 
Unitree Robotics has presented a video demonstrating the movement of the new robotic dog A2 Stellar Explorer over rough terrain. The four-legged robot has proven itself to be agile and resilient, demonstrating the ability to climb and descend steep slopes even with cargo on its back. It is no coincidence that he was called "Stellar Explorer" - the robot dog is ready to move forward on difficult terrain and overcome shallow water obstacles, exploring unfamiliar areas. 
In the video, the robot mainly moves on all fours. In a wheeled configuration, it can reach speeds of up to 18 km/h. However, on wheels, its cross-country ability is limited, while without them, it can climb a slope at an angle of 45 degrees, carrying a load of about 11 kg on its back. At the same time, the engineering plastic and aluminum alloy from which the robot dog is made can withstand the weight of an adult - up to 100 kg in a static position.
The robot is powered by removable batteries. The standard battery has a capacity of 9000 mAh, if necessary, two such units can be installed. In this configuration, the robot dog on four legs covered 13 km in 3 hours, carrying a load weighing 30 kg. The use of paws allows the device to overcome obstacles up to 30 cm high - this is enough for free ascent and descent of stairs. In addition, the robot can climb higher steps - rising on its hind legs and clinging to the front ones, it can climb meter-high obstacles.
