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.
