Self Improvement Learning hardware¶

Goal: assemble the platform — one Go2 EDU Plus with one D1 arm, two cameras, and the control equipment — and connect it to the workstation.

Robot: the Go2 EDU Plus package includes the onboard computer and a built-in front camera. The D435i is a separate, added camera; confirm which one a session uses.
Gantry: an external frame for posture and movement tests. Check its attachment, load rating, and clearance with the D1 mounted.
D1 arm: mounts on the Go2 expansion dock rail with square nuts and M4 × 10 hex-socket screws, and connects to the dock's power and Ethernet ports. Follow Unitree's guide and then Mount and check the D1 arm.
Cameras: the D435i sits in a 3D-printed vented bracket on the Go2's head; Unitree's payload guide also describes the official front D435i installation. The D435 clamps beside the gripper with the RichBird mount. Leave cable slack and clearance around the gripper.
Accessories: a Quest headset is not part of this platform. For a voice-equipped session, check the USB microphone and audio output during setup. Size spare batteries and storage for the session length.

Workstation → lab network → Go2 onboard computer

The workstation stays at the desk; the onboard computer rides on the Go2.

Onboard connections

D1 arm and wrist camera

The arm connections follow Unitree's guide. The dashed box marks the remaining wrist-camera USB host and cable route to record before use.

Identify: record the Go2 serial, battery, controller, and D1 package against the packing list.
Mount: fit the D435i bracket to the head and assemble the gantry per its instructions. Mount the D1 and its wrist camera by following Mount and check the D1 arm.
Connect: plug the D435i into the onboard computer; connect the D1's power and Ethernet to the dock per Unitree's diagram; route the wrist-camera USB cable to its confirmed host.
Label: mark both ends of every camera and network cable. Photograph the ports for the setup notes.
Inspect: check cable slack around the legs, arm joints, wrist, and gripper before powered checks.
