Waveshare WAVEGO 12-DOF Bionic Quadruped Robot Dog Powered by ESP32
Waveshare WAVEGO 12-DOF Bionic Quadruped Robot Dog Powered by ESP32 The WAVEGO is a high-DOF bionic quadruped robot dog intended for STEM education, advanced robotics research, and AI development. Its multi-link leg design with 12 degrees of freedom improves its stability and flexibility while simulating natural movements. WAVEGO Bionic Robot Dog effectively manages inverse kinematics and gait creation, lowering the computing burden on the host controller thanks to its ESP32 sub-controller. High-level AI applications can be integrated to facilitate computer vision tasks including object tracking, motion detection, and facial recognition. The WAVEGO Robot Dog's lightweight, sturdy aluminum alloy and nylon construction guarantee robustness while preserving a small, tabletop-use design. A front camera, a 9-axis motion tracker, RGB indicators, and an open-source, cross-platform web application for smooth remote control are all included with this AI robot dog. The WAVEGO 12-DOF Robot Dog is a robust platform for robotics enthusiasts, researchers, and developers wishing to investigate AI-powered quadruped robotics because it enables secondary development and has reserved expansion APIs, thorough documentation, and open-source demo programs. Features: Enhanced Flexibility with High-DOF Motion Inverse kinematics with a 12-DOF multi-link leg design maximize servo efficiency and movement accuracy. Compact & Durable Structure Made of PA12 polyamide and 5052 aluminum alloy, with 40 bearing joints for reinforcement, it is lightweight and strong for long-lasting use. Self-Balancing System for Stability Self-balancing is made possible via an integrated high-precision 9-axis motion tracker (ICM20948), which keeps the camera steady while adjusting to various terrains. Web-Based Remote Control Enables automatic WiFi hotspot creation at startup, doing away with the need for human configuration. Install no extra software and use a PC browser or smartphone to access the control panel.
