That’s what Chinese robotics company Unitree did to its robot dog. The Go2-W is an all-terrain version of the Go2 that replaces the pads on its feet with a motorized wheel. While the company lists the Go2-W's top speed at 5.6 mph, the same as the Go2, in a head-to-head sprint the wheeled bot appeared to be faster.
