UNITREE B2 INSPECTION / CANADA
UNITREE INDUSTRIAL ROBOTICS · CANADA
Unitree B2
Unitree B2
Inspection Solution
A configurable inspection system for utilities, mining, petrochemical and industrial facilities—combining the B2 platform, mission sensors, charging, communications and inspection software.
SYSTEM CAPABILITIES
One mobile platform.
Four layers of field intelligence.
02 / PERCEPTION
Hawk-eye precision for hazard detection
Thermal imaging, LiDAR and AI vision can capture temperature anomalies and visible defects. Acoustic payloads can localize pressurized leak sources; gas type or concentration requires a compatible gas sensor.
03 / OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
Armored in steel, undaunted by high-risk environments
Built for demanding environments, the robot can enter substations, power plants, chemical facilities and disaster areas while reducing frontline human exposure.
04 / CONTINUITY
Extended endurance, enhanced inspection density
Denser inspection coverage and continuous data collection help capture changing hazards across complex operating areas with fewer blind spots.
APPLICATION SCENARIOS
Built around the inspection mission
Unitree quadrupeds can be configured for repeatable inspection across energy, municipal, transportation and water infrastructure. Sensors, communications and software are selected for the site and the inspection target.
01 / POWER
Substation Inspection
Visual, thermal and instrument checks across indoor and outdoor electrical assets.
02 / PROCESS
Pipeline Network Inspection
Route patrol, thermal and visual anomaly capture, with leak-source localization when equipped.
03 / MINING
Mine Site Inspection
Remote patrol over rubble, slopes and other routes where reducing worker exposure matters.
04 / TRANSIT
Subway Tunnel Inspection
Repeatable patrols for tunnel assets, trackside conditions and visual or thermal anomalies.
05 / UTILITIES
Underground Utility Tunnel Inspection
Utility-corridor patrol with optional thermal, acoustic and compatible gas-sensing payloads.
06 / FACILITIES
Industrial Park Inspection
Scheduled facility and perimeter patrols with remote supervision and structured records.
07 / RAIL
Train Underframe Inspection
Close-range visual and thermal collection along repeatable train underframe routes.
08 / AVIATION
Airport Inspection
Airside or facility patrol workflows subject to site procedures and operating approvals.
09 / WATER
Water Utility Inspection
Patrols along channels, dams and utility corridors with mission-specific sensing.
Application imagery represents Unitree manufacturer examples. Feasibility and payload selection depend on the site, target assets, network, safety rules and environmental conditions.

*This is a manual example, not the published B2 base-platform temperature specification. Final limits must be confirmed in writing for the selected robot revision, battery, payload and environment.
Performance varies with payload, speed, terrain, slope, ambient temperature, battery condition, communications and mission profile.
IP67 describes ingress protection; it does not constitute explosion-proof or hazardous-location certification.
