Intro

The XGO Mini is a desktop-scale quadruped robot dog with 12 servo-actuated joints providing full-body articulation for agile locomotion and stability. The robot incorporates a Kendryte K210 AI chip—or Raspberry Pi CM4 in newer models—for embedded edge AI processing, allowing real-time vision, voice, and gesture recognition. Sensors include a 9-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU), joint position sensors, and electric current sensors, enabling feedback and closed-loop control. Its compact frame combines aluminum and high-quality plastics, balancing durability with lightweight agility. The robot is programmable via graphical block-based or Python programming, using apps or PC software, supporting educational innovation and experimental AI projects.

Connectivity

  • Wi-Fi and Bluetooth interfaces for wireless programming and control.
  • USB Type-C ports for data transfer and charging.
  • Compatible with dedicated XGO apps and PC control software for real-time programming and interaction.
  • Supports microSD cards for model and data storage.
