The WAVEGO is a high-degree-of-freedom (DOF) bionic quadruped robot dog created for advanced robotics research, AI development, and STEM education. Its 12 DOF robot architecture with a multi-link leg design improves flexibility and stability while mimicking natural movements.
This Waveshare robot dog is powered by the ESP32 sub-controller, efficiently performing gait creation and inverse kinematics, decreasing the computing load on the host controller. For advanced AI applications, an optional Raspberry Pi 4B can be used to perform computer vision tasks such as facial recognition, motion detection, and object tracking.
The WAVEGO Raspberry Pi Robot Dog is made of a lightweight yet sturdy aluminum alloy and nylon framework, ensuring strength while keeping a compact design appropriate for tabletop use. This AI-powered 12 DOF quadruped robot dog includes a front camera, a 9-axis motion tracker, RGB indicators, and an open-source, cross-platform web application for easy remote operation.
12 DOF robot dog offers enhanced flexibility, smoother movement, and better terrain adaptability compared to lower DOF robots. The Waveshare robot dog (WAVEGO) stands out by combining mechanical precision with AI capabilities, making it ideal for robotics enthusiasts, researchers, and STEM learners looking to explore real-world quadruped locomotion and intelligent systems.
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.
