Overview
This project gives a Unitree Go1 robot dog awareness of its surroundings, so anyone can drive it safely without it walking into obstacles.
Work in progress: this page will grow as the project does.
Approach
- Sensing. A Unitree L2 LiDAR will be mounted on the Go1 to scan its surroundings.
- Local map. The scans build a local map around the robot, showing what is near it and where.
- Safe teleoperation. The operator still drives the robot, but the map lets the system stop it from moving into obstacles.
Where it’s heading
The same local map is the foundation for autonomous path planning: once the robot knows where it can and can’t go, the next step is letting it pick its own route.
