Has anyone deployed the model with Unitree Go2?

We've deployed the policy on the Unitree Go1. We found the official SDK from Unitree to be helpful as it provides a python API that allows you to provide linear and angular velocity commands to the robot.

Here is an example of what we used to interface with the Go1. This is a ROS node that takes in waypoints and outputs velocity commands for the Go1. Feel free to adapt it your needs:
