Question 1

What is a quadruped robot?

Accepted Answer

A quadruped robot is a legged robot with four legs, designed to traverse terrain that is impassable for wheeled or tracked robots. Modern quadrupeds use model-predictive control and reinforcement learning to navigate stairs, rubble, slopes, and outdoor environments. Common applications include inspection, public safety, and research.

Question 2

Which companies make quadruped robots?

Accepted Answer

The market leaders are Boston Dynamics (Spot), ANYbotics (ANYmal), Unitree Robotics (Go2, B2), Ghost Robotics, and Agility Robotics. Chinese manufacturers Unitree and Deep Robotics offer the most price-competitive quadrupeds ($3,000–$30,000 range vs. $70,000+ for Boston Dynamics Spot).

Question 3

How much does a quadruped robot cost?

Accepted Answer

Quadruped robot prices range widely. Unitree Go2 starts at around $3,000 for the entry model; Unitree B2 runs ~$30,000. Boston Dynamics Spot costs around $74,000 for the base platform plus accessories. ANYmal C is priced for enterprise inspection contracts and is typically not sold standalone.
