Xiaomi has showcased its CyberDog open-source robot in India as part of its 8th anniversary in the country. The CyberDog is a quadruped robot that was introduced in China in 2021. The Xiaomi CyberDog is designed as an open-source robot and could provide a rich resource for developers globally. The Chinese company will be displaying the CyberDog at Mi Home outlets in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, and Ahmedabad.
The CyberDog is Xiaomi’s first foray into this segment of robotics and is a culmination of the research efforts of the company. Quadruped robotics is an area of growing research and Xiaomi hopes to expand its lineup within the field. The CyberDog is powered by the Jetson Xavier NX AI Supercomputer for Embedded Edge Systems. It has an SSD storage capacity of 128GB and is equipped with 11 high-precision sensors. The sensor provides instant feedback that helps the robot to navigate the terrain seamlessly. Xiaomi CyberDog is agile and easily adapts to complex terrain. Xiaomi says the CyberDog is the perfect partner for assisted living due to its versatility.
CyberDog comes with Xiaomi’s smartphone imaging technology enabling it to smartly perceive its environment. Its complement of cameras includes AI interactive sensors, binocular ultra-wide-angle fisheye cameras, and an Intel Depth module. CyberDog can be trained using its computer vision algorithm.
The robot also features autonomous object tracking, human posture, face recognition, obstacle avoidance, and SLAM. CyberDog can expertly analyze and navigate through its surroundings using real-time information. It can create navigational maps and plot its destination while avoiding obstacles.
The open-source potential of the Xiaomi CyberDog can unlock the robot to greater functionality. It can be customized by developers via its USB and HDMI ports. Both hardware and software add-ons and functions are possible with such an opening. The Xiaomi CyberDog is calibrated with Xiaomi’s servo motors offering the robot speed, agility, and variety in its movement. The CyberDog can reach a speed of 3.2m/s (equivalent to 11.52km/h) and it can perform complicated actions like backflipping. Xiaomi is silent on whether the CyberDog will be up for sale in India.
