"At about 18 kilograms, roughly 40 pounds with its battery included, the As2 is compact enough to move through tight spaces, yet built to handle a standing payload of up to 65 kilograms. That's more than 143 pounds sitting on top of a 40-pound robot, which is genuinely impressive and a little hard to picture until you actually see it in action."
"Its battery, a 648Wh, 15,000mAh unit, gives the As2 more than four hours of runtime when unloaded, covering over 20 kilometers. For an industrial robot, that's a serious range."
"The torque output sits at approximately 90 N·m with a torque-to-weight ratio of about 5 N·m/kg, driven by low-inertia inner rotor motors paired with industrial-grade crossed roller bearings. The engineering here is dense and deliberate. This isn't a toy built to look capable; it's a machine built to actually be capable."
Unitree's As2 quadruped robot marks a transition from experimental robotics to functional industrial machines. Weighing approximately 40 pounds, the As2 can handle standing payloads up to 143 pounds and continuous loads of 15 kilograms while traveling over 13 kilometers. Its 648Wh battery provides over four hours of runtime unloaded, covering 20+ kilometers. The robot achieves speeds exceeding 11 miles per hour, climbs 25-centimeter stairs, tackles 40-degree slopes, and scales 50-centimeter vertical platforms. Powered by low-inertia inner rotor motors with industrial-grade crossed roller bearings, the As2 delivers approximately 90 N·m torque with a 5 N·m/kg torque-to-weight ratio. The engineering prioritizes practical capability over demonstration appeal.
