Frequently Asked Questions

How Does Access Work After I Buy?

Courses are delivered through RoboUniversity’s online classroom. After checkout we email your login, and you can return any time from Class Login.

Is This Course Included in All-Access?

Yes. All-Access includes every RoboUniversity course, including this one, plus future releases for 1 year at no extra cost.

What Hardware and Software Do I Need?

You would typically need a Unitree G1 and a computer. Some courses specifically require a Linux operating system, Python, and potentially software like Isaac Sim or the Unitree Explore app.

Does All-Access Cover a Whole Class or Team?

Yes. All-Access is an enterprise-wide license, so it covers every seat in your organization. Speak to an expert and we’ll set it up.

Do Courses Include Access to Simulations, and What Are the Requirements?

Access to simulations is provided, but you would need to have the corresponding Unitree hardware to utilize them effectively.
