Robot Brief

Sirius is an advanced AI-powered robotic dog developed by Hengbot Innovation Ltd., launched in 2025 as one of the most dynamic consumer-grade robots. Weighing just 1 kg and constructed from aerospace-grade aluminum alloy, it features 14 degrees of freedom with proprietary Neurocore actuators that eliminate complex leg wiring for smoother, more agile movements. Designed for indoor flat surfaces, Sirius excels at lifelike behaviors including dancing, playing soccer, and interactive gestures. The robot integrates seamlessly with OpenAI technologies to “develop its soul” over time, enabling evolving personality and deep customization. Its modular open platform allows non-coders and developers alike to program actions using drag-and-drop editors or code in Python/C/C++.

Use Cases

  • Agile Motion: Can sprint, turn, leap, dance, play soccer, and perform natural dog-like movements with uncanny fluidity.
  • AI-Driven Interaction: Uses an 8MP camera combined with multimodal AI to recognize people, respond to voice commands, and interact emotionally.
  • Highly Customizable: Offers game-like editors to program behaviors, change personalities (e.g., Corgi or Husky), edit facial expressions, and upload voice packs.
  • Developer Friendly: Open-source compatible with USB-C ports for peripherals; programmable in Python, C, and C++.
  • Multiple Control Methods: Controlled via smartphone app, voice commands, remote controller, or head UI touchscreen.
  • Modular and Transformable: Can be reshaped into other robot forms (cats, dinosaurs) and customized with 3D-printed shells.
