## What it is
Unitree Robot SDK version 2, a C++ library for controlling and communicating with Unitree robots. It provides CMake-based builds and examples for integrating robot control into applications on Ubuntu (aarch64 and x86_64).

## Use cases
- control a Unitree quadruped robot from C++
- send motion commands to a Unitree robot
- read robot state and sensor data over the SDK
- build custom applications for Unitree robots with CMake
- integrate Unitree robot control into research code

## When to choose
- you own a Unitree robot and want programmatic control
- you need the official C++ SDK for Unitree robots
- you develop on Ubuntu with aarch64 or x86_64 hardware

## When to avoid
- you use a robot from another manufacturer
- you need a Python or ROS interface rather than C++
- you target Windows or macOS without Linux support

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: sdk, robotics, developer-tools
- domain: robotics, developer-tools, hardware
- platform: cpp, cross-platform
- tags: unitree, robot-sdk, quadruped, c-plus-plus, hardware-control, linux
