## What it is
An unofficial ROS2 SDK for the Unitree Go2 quadruped robot (AIR/PRO/EDU), connecting over WebRTC (Wi-Fi) or CycloneDDS (Ethernet). It provides real-time joint states, IMU, LiDAR, camera streams, SLAM, navigation, and object detection integration.

## Use cases
- control a Unitree Go2 robot dog from ROS2
- stream Go2 camera and LiDAR data into ROS2 topics
- run SLAM and nav2 navigation on a Unitree Go2
- teleoperate the Go2 with a joystick over Wi-Fi
- build a point cloud map of the environment with the Go2
- run object detection on the Go2 camera feed
- connect multiple Go2 robots to a ROS2 system

## When to choose
- you own a Unitree Go2 AIR/PRO/EDU and want ROS2 integration
- you need WebRTC or CycloneDDS connectivity to the Go2
- you want SLAM, navigation, or perception on the Go2 without writing low-level protocol code

## When to avoid
- you need an officially supported Unitree SDK with vendor support
- you are not using ROS2 or Python
- you require guaranteed real-time joint state rates on newer firmware (known 1 Hz limitation)

## Facets
- artifact type: library
