Xiaomi, named CyberDog, has created a quadrupedal robot.

While Xiaomi revealed a four-legged robot for the first time in a long time, it also launched its first Mi Mix mobile in nearly three years.

The Chinese company Xiaomi recently presented a new quadrupedal robot named CyberDog and a new four-legged robotics business line for the company.

The new robot, Xiaomi claims, can carry out fast motions to 3.2 m/s and challenging tasks such as backflips. With vocal commands, the robot may also respond by distinguishing wake phrases and requests and can be operated through a smartphone app connected to it.

Nvidia Jetson Xavier NX powers the movements, Xiaomi built in-house servo motors, and 11 sensors make up the overall system.

To address this, Xiaomi had this to say: One of the eleven sensors in CyberDog is a touch sensor, and there are others, including interactive cameras with artificial intelligence (AI), fisheye camera binocular ultrawide angle cameras, a depth module, ultrasonic sensors, and GPS modules.

Xiaomi also equipped the camera sensors with computer vision algorithms, allowing the system to handle simultaneous localization and mapping, centimeter-scale obstacle avoidance and navigation, and tracking and mapping autonomous objects.

The Xiaomi Mi cyber dog also includes three type-C connections and one HDMI port, which were introduced for software and hardware integration.

Xiaomi claims that the CyberDog robot is open source. Users may add additional features such as lidar sensors, panoramic cameras, and searchlights to the robot to expand the robot's application possibilities. It hasn't been mentioned whether the new device will share its proprietary algorithms with CyberDogs, but it's been said that the machine is "based upon open source algorithms."

Xiaomi has introduced 1,000 units of the CyberDog, which was unveiled at the same time. For 10,000 yuan, every CyberDog will be available.

Following in the footsteps of Boston, CyberDog is the newest robotics company to include quadrupedal models in its lineups. The Spot, which was developed by Boston Dynamics and is now being used in many settings, is intended to encourage public awareness of social distancing in parks and support remote triage of patients in hospitals.
