Petoi Pet Robot Dog and Pet Robot Cat Educational Robots

Quadrupeds/Hexapods, Robot Categories 👉🏻

Petoi, a company that specializes in developing tomorrow's pet robots, has developed two quadruped robots, a pet robot dog named Bittle and a pet robot cat named Nybble, for stem robotics and educational applications. Pet Robot Dog Bittle, and Pet Robot Cat Nybble. Image credit: Petoi Bittle is an open-source bionic robot pet dog used for learning and play, able to climb up to the ceiling and walk upside down because of its light body. Adding a customized Arduino board can help the robot pet coordinate difficult movements, and adding different sensors will make it capable of perception. It is…

ANYmal Quadruped Robot Climbing Stairs

Quadrupeds/Hexapods, Robot Categories 👉🏻

Researchers at the Robotics Systems Lab at ETH Zürich, who are working on legged robots, tested perception-based motion planning for the ANYmal quadruped robot to navigate terrain and stairs. This video was recorded a few years ago, but it's intriguing to see how what we consider normal now was 20x speed then. ANYmal quadruped robot climbing stairs.

Quadruped Robot Dog Gives a High Five

Quadrupeds/Hexapods, Robot Categories 👉🏻

The researchers have developed a nonlinear Model Predictive Control (MPC) framework for multi-legged robots that can generate whole-body motion plans in real-time. The quadruped dog robot can maneuver through different terrains using a novel model predictive control algorithm. Image credit: The Authors In this study, the proposed control system is implemented on Solo12, a quadruped robot that is able to perform several motions such as trotting, bounding, and jumping. The robot dog is able to generate a very complex motion, such as a high-five, with the help of its full-body capabilities. The quadruped robot gives a high-five that resembles a…

The Jueying X20 is a quadruped robot developed by Deep Robotics, and Mecharithm previously covered the news about it HERE. We learned that this quadruped was designed based on real-world feedback from users and the applications they required. Image credit: Deep Robotics It was previously reported that the robot could withstand a load of 75 kg (165 lbs), but new tests have shown that the robot can carry loads exceeding 85 kg (187 lbs).
