Run control code and sensor streams. - Required: Beach ball. The experiment used a green ball for Team Claude; size not stated. - Required: Manufacturer controller or control phone. - Required: Device power supply. Use the robot’s original battery and charger; inspect a used robot’s battery. - Required: Clear test area and accessible emergency stop. No autonomous unattended operation; establish and test stop behavior before motion. ## Compatibility and cautions - Full autonomous fetch was not completed. Keep a human supervisor and a clear operating area; collision hazards remain. - Air/Pro/EDU edition and firmware were not disclosed; SDK access must be checked before buying. - The project identifies the Go2 family but not its edition. Confirm SDK access and edition-specific capabilities before purchasing. - Source-reviewed, not independently hardware-tested. Confirm the model, revision and recovery process before changing device software. ## Buy [Search Amazon (unverified)](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Unitree+Go2) — Search destination only; matching listing NOT verified Search fallback only.

The project identifies the Go2 family but not its edition. Confirm SDK access and edition-specific capabilities before purchasing. 2. **Read the creator’s setup**: Full autonomous fetch was not completed. Keep a human supervisor and a clear operating area; collision hazards remain. 3. **Start with a reversible test**: Follow the linked project source before changing the device. Back up existing configuration, keep credentials private and stop if your hardware differs from the documented version. ## Coding-agent project brief Help me plan robot dog video controller and autonomous ball approach using Unitree Go2. Read https://www.anthropic.com/research/project-fetch-robot-dog and its supporting sources first. A separate computer supplies custom camera, sensor and motion-control logic. Full autonomous fetch was not completed. Keep a human supervisor and a clear operating area; collision hazards remain. Confirm my exact hardware and required accessories, explain what is missing, and propose one reversible test. Ask before flashing firmware, changing privileged system settings or moving physical hardware. ## Common questions ### Where does my software run?
