Explore robotics, programming, and computer vision with the Waveshare WAVEGO 12-DOF Bionic Dog-Like Robot Basic Version. Its four legs use a multi-connecting-rod design with 12 degrees of freedom, supporting flexible movements such as standing, crouching, jumping, self-balancing, and diagonal gait.
The ESP32 sub-controller handles inverse solving and gait generation with FreeRTOS, sharing calculations with the host controller. You can attach an additional Raspberry Pi for OpenCV-based demonstrations, including facial recognition, color tracking, and moving object detection. The compact aluminum alloy and nylon structure is designed for tabletop use, while the reserved extension interfaces support secondary development.
