Record changelog
- ROS Compatible: true → Edu only (unitree_ros2) · Jul 10, 2026
record-surgery-4 verification (corrected): ROS 2 integration (unitree_ros2) rides on the SDK, which is officially supported on Edu only. Same trim-attribution correction as sdk_support.
- SDK Support: true → Edu only (official secondary development) · Jul 10, 2026
record-surgery-4 verification (corrected): Blanket 'true' is misleading at family level: official secondary-development/SDK support is an Edu-trim feature (Air/Pro/X are consumer trims without officia
- Payload Capacity: About 8 kg (max ~10-12 kg by variant) → 7-8 kg by trim (Air ~7, Pro/X/Edu ~8; max 10-12 kg) · Jul 10, 2026
record-surgery-4 verification (corrected): Official table: Air ~7 kg (max 10), Pro ~8 kg (max 10), X/Edu ~8 kg (max 12). Family string now carries the trim range; numeric stays 8 (dominant rated value
- Battery Life: About 1-2 h (8000 mAh std; 15000 mAh option) → 1-2 hours (8000 mAh: Air/Pro/X); 2-4 hours (15000 mAh: Edu) · Jul 10, 2026
record-surgery-4 verification (corrected): Current phrasing implies 15000 mAh is an option on any trim; officially the 15000 mAh/432 Wh pack and 2-4 h runtime are bound to Edu. Numeric = 2 h (range ma
- Max Speed: 5 m/s → 2.5-3.7 m/s by trim (Air 2.5, Pro 3.5, X/Edu 3.7; ~5 m/s max) · Jul 10, 2026
record-surgery-4 verification (corrected): Family record should carry the rated range across trims, not the burst ceiling: official table lists 0-2.5 (Air), 0-3.5 (Pro), 0-3.7 (X/Edu) with '~5 m/s max
- Communication: WiFi, 4G LTE → WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.2; 4G module (Pro/X/Edu) · Jul 10, 2026
record-surgery-4 verification (corrected): WiFi 6 + Bluetooth 5.2 shared across trims; 4G is NOT family-wide - Air lacks the 4G module. Trim attribution added for family honesty.
- Sensors: 4D LiDAR L2, HD wide-angle camera, foot-end force sensors (EDU) → 4D LiDAR L2, HD wide-angle camera; foot-end force sensors (X/Edu) · Jul 10, 2026
record-surgery-4 verification (corrected): LiDAR L2 + camera are shared across all trims. Foot-end force sensors are fitted on both X and Edu, not Edu alone - '(EDU)' attribution updated.

tranche-1 verification (corrected): No ultrasonic or stereo camera stated; single HD camera

tranche-1 verification (corrected): Mfr states about 1-2 h standard battery

tranche-1 verification (corrected): Mfr lists ~7-8 kg standard, well above 3 kg
