Robot Brief

CyberDog is Xiaomi’s bio-inspired quadrupedal robot designed as both a research platform and an AI-powered robotic companion. Introduced in 2021, it features an open-source approach enabling developers and enthusiasts to customize and expand its capabilities. The robot utilizes powerful computing hardware with the NVIDIA Jetson Xavier platform, and integrates 11 high-precision sensors including cameras and LiDAR for autonomous navigation, obstacle avoidance, and real-time environment mapping. It can perform dynamic motions such as running up to 11.5 km/h and executing acrobatic maneuvers like backflips. Additionally, CyberDog supports voice interaction, face recognition, and smartphone control.

Use Cases

  • Autonomous Navigation: Maps and localizes itself indoors using SLAM technology with obstacle avoidance.
  • Dynamic Movement: Walks, trots, jogs, jumps, and performs backflips and other agile maneuvers.
  • Voice and App Control: Interfaces with Xiaomi’s XiaoAI voice assistant; controllable via a smartphone app.
  • Object & Human Tracking: Tracks objects and faces using AI cameras and computer vision.
  • Environmental Interaction: Uses multiple sensors for real-time perception and situation awareness.
  • Developer Customization: Open-source platform with USB and HDMI ports for expansion.

Intro

The CyberDog measures 77.1 × 35.5 × 40 cm, weighing 14 kg. It is powered by an NVIDIA Carmel 6-core ARM CPU and Volta GPU with 48 Tensor Cores, running Ubuntu 18.04 and ROS 2. The robot employs 12 high-torque quasi-direct drive actuators (3 per leg) and features carbon fiber, aluminum, and ABS construction. Sensors include Intel RealSense D450 depth camera, 13MP AI interactive camera, binocular wide-angle camera, LiDAR, ToF sensor, IMU, GPS, and a microphone array. It can achieve speeds up to 3.2 m/s (11.5 km/h) and supports complex behaviors such as backflips and dancing. Battery life is approximately one hour, with about 160 minutes recharge time.

Connectivity

  • Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac) and Bluetooth 4.2 for communication.
  • USB Type-C (3 ports) and HDMI (1 port) for peripherals and expansion.
  • Smartphone app and voice assistant integration.

‍

Capabilities

  • Locomotion: Multiple gaits including standing, trotting, jogging, jumping, and backflips.
  • Perception: 11 sensors enable 3D environment mapping, facial recognition, and object tracking.
  • Interaction: Supports XiaoAI voice commands, app control, and multi-modal communication.
  • Navigation: Uses SLAM for autonomous indoor positioning and path planning.
  • Expandability: Multiple USB Type-C and HDMI ports for add-ons like LiDAR and cameras.
