Go2 Companion Remote Control

User Manual V1.0

www.unitree.com
 Introduction
The companion remote control is part of the Go2 remote control module, which can manipulate Go2 to
achieve stable and full control of 3-axis posture and 3-axis position when standing. and to achieve forward
and backward movements, turning in place, and other actions on flat ground. It can also activate the intelligent
accompanying mode with one click, without the need for remote control, and enter the autonomous following
state. During the forward process, it can intelligently avoid obstacles based on radar data, ensuring the safety
of the robot dog and the surrounding environment. The companion remote control adopts a new buckle design
that conforms to ergonomics, making it more secure and comfortable to touch.
