Note before Review
The operation instructions in this chapter correspond to the robot movements when the users use the official control
program of Unitree Robotics.
When the users run the program developed by themselves in the developer mode: The remote control commands are
still valid when the high-level (application layer) is developed. At this time, if the high-level API commands and the
remote control commands are sent to the robot, both commands will be executed by the robot. It may cause the robot to
become unstable. Please be sure to judge whether the users need to use the remote control according to the running state
of the robot. Remote control commands fail during low-level development.
This chapter is an introductory chapter for new users to manipulate robots. New users can quickly master how to
use the handle to control the robot to show excellent movement performance by reading this section. This chapter is also
a chapter that old users often need to refer to. Old users can read this chapter repeatedly to grasp the essentials of operating
the robot, and then they can draw inferences from case, and know what kind of movements are not recommended.
Operation Environment Requirement
1) Run the robot in -5°C -55°C with good weather condition. Do not operate in bad weather, such as lightning and
tornado weather. When operating in water, the users need to be sure to comply with the requirements described in the
IP67 Protection level instructions.
2) Please keep it under control in the users’ view when using the robot and keep the robot maintain a safe distance
of at least 2 meters from obstacles, complex ground, crowds, water, and other objects.
3) Please do not run the robot in an electromagnetic interference environment. Sources of electromagnetic
interference include but are not limited to: high-voltage power lines, high-voltage transmission stations, mobile phone
base stations, and television broadcast towers.
4) Please do not run the robot in the WiFi signal interference environment. WiFi signal interference is usually caused
by co-channel interference. In case of interference, be sure to turn off some or all WiFi signal sources of other wireless
devices before using the remote control to operate the robot.
5) Due to the different level of control proficiency of the actual users, for the sake of reliability and safety, please
use it in an open, unobstructed, and flat ground environment. When operating the robot, it should be noted that the steps
should be less than 20cm and the slope should be less than 30°. Failure to meet these conditions may cause the robot fall.
When the robot is walking on complex ground or terrain with certain undulations and slopes, the users should reduce the
walking speed of the robot and operate it carefully to prevent the robot from tripping over obstacles.
6) The legged robot has certain requirements for the ground on which it walks. Do not use the robot on very low
friction ground, such as ice. Do not use the robot on soft ground, such as thick spongy ground. If the robot is used on
smooth ground, such as glass and ceramic tile, the users need to control the robot for movement carefully and smoothly,
avoid violent movement, and reduce the walking speed of the robot to prevent the robot foot from slipping and falling.
