The automation of internal processes in logistics centers and industrial environments is undergoing a true revolution. At the forefront of this transformation is the mobility of Unitree robots, which are redefining standards of efficiency, safety, and operational intelligence. XD4Solutions, the official representative of Unitree in Brazil, is bringing the most innovative next-generation robotics to the national market.
What Makes Unitree Robots So Special in Internal Logistics?
Unitree robots are not just “walking machines.” They are the fusion of cutting-edge engineering, artificial intelligence algorithms, and functional design. Their standout feature? True autonomous mobility, inspired by biological patterns particularly how quadrupeds move across various terrains and environments.
This mobility allows them to navigate smoothly through tight corridors, unpredictable obstacles, and multiple levels something automated forklifts or wheeled robots still struggle to achieve with the same versatility.
Versatile Locomotion: Far Beyond the Track of Wheels
Unlike AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles), which rely on tracks, strips, or fixed sensors in the environment, Unitree’s quadruped robots — such as the B1 model and the new Go2 — are completely untethered. This means they can:
- Climb ramps and stairs;
- Circumvent unexpected objects;
- Navigate both indoor and outdoor environments with ease;
- Adapt to irregular, wet, or unstable flooring.
This freedom of movement exponentially expands the range of industries they can be applied to.
Intelligent Navigation with 3D Perception
One of the most impressive technologies is the 3D spatial perception system with simultaneous mapping (SLAM). Unitree robots use RGBD cameras, LiDAR sensors, and computer vision algorithms to build a real-time map of their surroundings.
In practice, this means the robot knows exactly where it is, where it needs to go, and the best route to get there — avoiding obstacles and recalculating paths on the fly.
Automation of Repetitive Tasks and Heavy Loads
In internal logistics, Unitree robots perform tasks that were previously done by human teams, often involving high repetition or risk. With a payload capacity of up to 80 kg in the B1 model, they can be programmed for:
- Transporting parts between factory sectors;
- Pickups and deliveries within warehouses;
- Automated replenishment on production lines;
- Inventory assistance with embedded RFID or QR Code readers.
This automation reduces human error, minimizes operational fatigue, and accelerates logistical flows.
Collaborative Work with Human Employees
Thanks to their bio-inspired design and “natural” behavior, Unitree robots operate safely alongside human workers. They feature proximity sensors and gesture recognition, and can even follow an operator automatically (using “Follow Me” mode).
This allows the robots to work as collaborative assistants without the need for safety zones or physical isolation, unlike many industrial robots.
Energy Efficiency and Low Maintenance
Unitree robots combine mobility with engineering designed for energy efficiency. Their high-density lithium-ion battery provides up to 4 hours of continuous operation, with a recharge time of under 2 hours.
Moreover, their modular build simplifies maintenance and part replacement, reducing downtime.
Real Success Stories Worldwide
Major global companies are already integrating Unitree robots into their operations:
- Automated warehouses in China and South Korea use robots to transport loads through hard-to-access aisles.
- Distribution centers in Europe have adopted the Unitree B1 for stock replenishment and automatic inspections.
- Automotive industries deploy quadruped robots for safety inspections and anomaly detection.
These examples show how the versatility of Unitree’s mobility makes robotics adaptable to any logistics chain.
Cybersecurity and Industrial Connectivity
Unitree robots feature Wi-Fi 6, 5G, and industrial ports (Ethernet and CAN Bus), allowing integration with MES, ERP, and WMS systems. Security is enhanced through end-to-end encryption and OTA (Over The Air) updates to prevent vulnerabilities.
Customization by Application
Each robot can be customized with robotic arms, additional sensors, thermal cameras, or transport boxes. This means companies from various sectors — from hospital logistics to heavy industry — can tailor the robot to their specific needs.
Low Long-Term Cost
Despite the initial investment, Unitree robots offer a low total cost of ownership (TCO). Their autonomy, durability, and multifunctionality eliminate the need for multiple pieces of equipment and operators for simple tasks.
Unitree robot mobility is driving unprecedented disruption in internal logistics. Their ability to move autonomously and intelligently through complex environments is reshaping the future of industrial automation.
For companies looking to reduce operational costs, boost productivity, and stand out in the market, adopting Unitree robots is a strategic — and inevitable — move.
