Impressive Capabilities

The B2 has proven its capabilities in a demo video, showcasing its ability to navigate a floor covered in banana peels while being repeatedly shoved with a battering ram. It can also jump from table to table and table to floor, demonstrating its agility and balance.

Pricing and Demand

While the B2 appears to be a highly capable robot, the price has not been disclosed. It remains to be seen how much these robots will cost and what the demand will be. However, Unitree's B2 is certainly a strong contender in the quadruped robot market.
