Unitree Go2 API & Developer Docs
The Unitree Go2 developer documentation is genuinely good — Unitree's docs hub covers the SDK from installation through advanced motion programming. It's the official reference; third-party tutorials age fast as APIs change.
If you're coming from ROS or Drake-style simulation, budget time for the middleware layer: Unitree's DDS-based interfaces are powerful but opinionated, and the examples in the official docs are the fastest way to learn the idioms.
