The Waveshare WAVEGO PI4 Kit is a 12-DOF quadruped robot dog designed for robotics enthusiasts, AI developers, researchers, and STEM learners who want to explore advanced robotics and intelligent automation. Powered by an ESP32 sub-controller with support for an optional Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, the robot combines precise locomotion, computer vision, and AI capabilities in a compact and durable platform.
Its 12-degree-of-freedom (DOF) leg architecture and inverse kinematics system enable smooth, natural movement and improved terrain adaptability. When paired with a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 4GB RAM, the WAVEGO supports advanced AI applications such as OpenCV-based object tracking, facial recognition, motion detection, and autonomous robotics projects. Built with a lightweight aluminum alloy and PA12 nylon frame, it offers excellent durability while remaining portable for education, research, and prototyping.
The 12 DOF robot design with multi-link legs, paired with an inverse kinematics system, maximizes servo efficiency and movement precision in this quadruped robot dog.

The 5052-aluminum alloy and PA12 nylon are reinforced with 40 bearing joints, resulting in a lightweight yet sturdy design for long-term performance.

The integrated high-precision 9-axis motion tracker (ICM20948) allows the camera to self-balance and adapt to changing terrains while remaining stable.

The device has a 160° wide-angle 5MP camera that supports OpenCV-based AI functionalities such as facial recognition, color tracking, and motion detection.

Automatically creates a WiFi hotspot upon launch, avoiding the need for manual configuration. You may access the control panel from a smartphone or PC browser without having to install any additional programs.

Supports Raspberry Pi as a host controller, which communicates with the ESP32 subcontroller via UART. The ESP32 is efficient at gait creation and inverse kinematics, freeing up Raspberry Pi resources for advanced AI research.
