The wild quadruped robot scrambles down hills, through glass, and you can stand on it

• Unitree A2 is a new quadruped robot
• It’s super fast
• The A2 can hold up to a 220lb load

If someone were casting a robot action hero movie and they didn’t want a humanoid (or Arnold Schwarzenegger), they might hire the all-new Unitree A2. This quadruped robot can run, jump, climb, scamper down hills, tumble, carry a heavy load, and, yes, as depicted in the promo video, smash through a plate of glass. All that’s missing here is the blockbuster action movie soundtrack.

With a max speed of 11.2mph, the new A2 is something of a landmark in quadrupeds, outrunning the standard Robo Dynamics Spot robot by almost 8 miles per hour.
