Hiwonder MechDog
By Hiwonder
The Hiwonder MechDog is a palm-sized, programmable robot dog with an ESP32 controller and 8 coreless servos.
According to Hiwonder the MechDog walks on 8 coreless servos with built-in inverse kinematics, so walking direction, gait and posture can be adjusted while walking. It can be programmed with Python, Scratch or Arduino and controlled from PC software or an app (16 preset actions). A built-in IMU keeps it balanced; an ultrasonic sensor and an ESP32-S3 vision module (colour, face and line recognition) are included; it can be extended with sensors and LEGO parts. Availability in the Netherlands is not confirmed.
