unitree-go2-mcp-server

Overview

The Unitree Go2 MCP Server is a specialized tool that bridges natural language processing with robot control through the Model Context Protocol. It enables users to control a Unitree Go2 quadruped robot using conversational commands that are interpreted by an LLM and translated into ROS2 instructions. The server supports contextual understanding, allowing the robot to interpret nuanced commands and perform complex tasks like obstacle avoidance, direction changes, and user interaction.

• move_backward

  Makes the Go2 robot move backward at a specified velocity for a duration

  Try:Make the Go2 robot move backward at a velocity of 0.3 m/s for 2 secondsTry:Move backward slowlyTry:Reverse quickly
• turn_left

  Makes the Go2 robot turn left at a specified angular velocity for a duration

  Try:Turn left at 0.5 rad/s for 3 secondsTry:Rotate left slowlyTry:Make a left turn
• turn_right

  Makes the Go2 robot turn right at a specified angular velocity for a duration

  Try:Turn right at 0.5 rad/s for 3 secondsTry:Rotate right slowlyTry:Make a right turn
• stop_movement

• avoid_obstacles

  Enables the Go2 robot to autonomously avoid obstacles

  Try:Avoid obstacles while moving forwardTry:Navigate around objectsTry:Don't bump into anything
