How to reproduce

Run the PyBullet script from robot_descriptions.py with the UNITREE Go1 description:

python examples/show_in_pybullet.py go1

Alternatively, download the description to some local directory and run:

    GO1_URDF_PATH = "/some/local/path/go1.urdf"
    client = pybullet.connect(pybullet.GUI)
    pybullet.configureDebugVisualizer(pybullet.COV_ENABLE_SHADOWS, 0)
    pybullet.configureDebugVisualizer(pybullet.COV_ENABLE_GUI, 0)
    pybullet.setAdditionalSearchPath(os.path.dirname(GO1_URDF_PATH))
    robot = pybullet.loadURDF(os.path.basename(GO1_URDF_PATH))
    input("Press Enter to close terminate... ")
    pybullet.disconnect()
