The WAVEGO is a high-degree-of-freedom (DOF) bionic quadruped robot dog designed for advanced robotics research, AI development, and STEM learning. Its 12-DOF multi-link leg design enhances its flexibility and stability and mimics natural movements.
Powered by ESP32 as the sub-controller, WAVEGO Bionic Robot Dog efficiently handles gait generation and inverse kinematics, reducing the computational load on the host controller. For high-level AI applications, an optional Raspberry Pi 4B can be integrated to enable computer vision tasks such as facial recognition, motion detection, and object tracking.
Built with a lightweight yet durable aluminium alloy and nylon structure, WAVEGO Raspberry Pi Robot Dog ensures strength while maintaining a compact design suitable for tabletop use. This AI Robot Dog comes equipped with a front camera, a 9-axis motion tracker, RGB indicators, and an open-source, multi-platform web application for seamless remote control.
With reserved extension interfaces, comprehensive documentation, and open-source demo codes, the WAVEGO 12-DOF Robot Dog supports secondary development, making it a powerful platform for robotics enthusiasts, researchers, and developers looking to explore AI-powered quadruped robotics.
Note: Raspberry Pi 4 is not included in the package. It must be purchased separately for advanced AI applications.
Features a 12-DOF multi-link leg design combined with an inverse kinematics algorithm, maximizing servo efficiency and movement precision.
Constructed with 5052 aluminum alloy and PA12 nylon, reinforced with 40 bearing joints, ensuring a lightweight yet robust build for long-lasting performance.
Integrated high-precision 9-axis motion tracker (ICM20948) enables self-balancing, adapting to different terrains while keeping the camera stable.
Equipped with a 160° wide-angle 5MP camera, supporting OpenCV-based AI functions like facial recognition, colour tracking, and motion detection.
Automatically creates a WiFi hotspot at startup, eliminating the need for manual setup. Access the control panel via a smartphone or PC browser without installing additional apps.
Supports Raspberry Pi as a host controller, communicating with the ESP32 sub-controller via UART. The ESP32 efficiently handles gait generation and inverse kinematics, freeing up Raspberry Pi resources for advanced AI development.
