For those unaware, the CyberDog is a bio inspired quadruped robot is powered by NVIDIA’s Jetson Xavier NX AI Supercomputer for Embedded and Edge Systems paired with 128GB of SSD storage.
Furthermore, the new robot also houses a number of cameras, microphones, and sensors on the head of the robot that gives it spatial perception capabilities that is comparable to the human eye. This includes AI cameras, binocular ultra wide cameras and Intel’s RealSense D450 depth camera module that enables it to avoid obstacles as it navigates its way around.
