Unitree Go2 Robot Dog Smart Follow Demo - First time out for a walk

This is the first time I'm using the Unitree Go2 Pro Robot Dog with the Smart Follow function out in my neighborhood. I just received the Go2 Pro and I'm trying out all of the features. If you are considering either the Air or Pro versions, this feature is the main feature that the "Pro" model offers. Here it is in action.
The feature involves clipping a small beacon/controller to your right hip. The dog follows that controller and orients itself in the same orientation as the beacon as well. To activate the Side Follow function you stand next to the dog and press the M button twice quickly (quite quickly). This will cause the dog to start marching. At first it took me a few tries to get it to enter side follow mode, then I realized that you have to push the button twice quite quickly.
The L2 button is supposed to turn on object avoidance, but my luck getting that to work hasn't been perfect. I'm getting better though. I hope to have it all figured out soon.
Using the joystick on the side follow beacon will control the dog but it will also turn off side follow mode. This will also allow the dog to stand still. Useful if your neighbors are walking past.

    Thanks. I know my production values aren't very good, but I'm trying to make them in a timely manner so that people aren't left in the dark.

    Looks cool, I wish they would fix that avoidance issue so it works as advertised on their video. Don’t listen to the haters I can see something like this taking off in the future when it becomes more affordable.

    They have some firmware updates that addresses this. These are the first gen. So they have the quirks

    Thanks. Today they did a software update and the avoidance is working better. I have a feeling we will continue to get improvements! Fun stuff.

    if you had a 3d- model of your house. Would it be possbile to let the robot dog navigate throught it without controlling it manually?

    Not with what we have now. What it is sort of capable of is moving about your house without bumping into anything and without using a 3D model, but with you controlling it. It's Lidar system creates a 3D model of its environment as it moves about. The app shows a visual representation of the environment and model and it is pretty impressive.

    Why does the recording date show 2015?

    Because I am using a GoPro that I bought in 2015 and never learned to set the date.

    How well does the Intelligent Side Follow system work? And does it work well with the obstical avoidance?

    Watch some of my other videos, I think it works quite well. It takes some getting used to. You have to move very specifically to get it behave perfectly.

    If you have the Pro model it came with a little beacon/controller that you wear on your belt. That is how you do it. It isn't available on the Air model.

    I have been pressing L2 on the companion controller to try to activate the obstacle avoidance mode. Unfortunately you don't get any feedback to tell you the mode has been engaged. The dog doesn't move in any noticeable way when you engage or disengage that mode and the app doesn't have a visual indicator to tell you if the mode is engaged. The app actually is a horrible indicator of whether the mode is selected (the selector in the ap can be on while the mode on the dog is off). It seems simple to fix. I wish the dog would "bow" or wiggle when the mode was engaged. That would be better. I've already put a couple of dents in the walls of my office because I thought the mode was engaged and it wasn't.

    @@vmobile890I’m waiting for it to drop the price down less than 1k after overseas shipping. Seems like based on the videos I’ve watched it has its imperfections which for the cost doesn’t counter balance the time into purchasing it. Hopefully Unitree gets back to the feedbacks of the all the customers on improving and providing sooner updates to the software
