Hello @Sohail,
I recently came across Go2 and it had an interesting feature of self charging from the dock port as soon as battery is low and with the help of camera I believe it is detecting the docking station. However, we are currently having Go1 robot and later we want to use it continuously without turning it off, for that we also need something like Go2. So, is it possible to convert the manual charging system of Go1 to self charging system using docking station as Go2?
Dear @Ravin,
We tried to do this at some point, however, the Go1 electrical system doesn’t allow for easy charging of the battery without changing the internal components.
As for the Go2 it can reach the docking and charge but currently to my knowledge the autonomous functionality is being worked on by Unitree. However, with ROS2 you can use the nav2 docking station package to achieve this anyways. The main issue would have been the charging unit but that is available with Go2.
Hi, Unitree does not support a charging station for the Go1 but you got on the belly an XT30 with data pins. I am currently working out how to create a charging station without any modifications inside the bot. As fas as I can see with my Go1 Pro it is per software and some 433MHz sender possible to set the bot into charging mode and also observe the SOC to cut the line and also turn the bot off at the end the charging process.
Unfortunately I did not find out how to start the bot without pressing the accu button.
Regarding Go2, as far as I know support for the docking station depends on your model. I think only the edu version is supported.
