PuppyPi Advanced Kit AI Robot Quadruped Robot ROS Open Source Robot Dog with AI Vision 1MP Camera

Product Description:
Powered by board for Raspberry Pi 4B 4GB, PuppyPi is an AI vision quadruped robot. It is made of aluminium alloy and loaded with 8 powerful coreless servos. Linkage mechanism on its leg attributes to flexible and diverse actions and enables it to walk, step up and down stair, etc. It owns first person vision for realizing more interesting AI games, including target tracking, face detection, line following, automatic climbing and so on.

PuppyPi is based on ROS (robot operating system) and supports Gazebo simulation. It serves as a great platform for you to learn and verify machine vision, robot kinematics, quadruped gait controlling and other algorithms. Besides, ample tutorials and open-source codes will help you quickly get started!

Features:
Linkage Mechanism, Efficient Movement
- PuppyPi's legs employ a linkage mechanism to increase the angular velocity of its lower legs.
- The independent movement of different parts of the leg contributes to a greater rotation range.

Aluminium Alloy Body with Perfect Structure
- Made of aluminium alloy and equipped with metal bearings on joints, PuppyPi features light weight and high strength. Compact and flexible body lets it show talents even on the desk.

Gait Planning, Free Adjustment
- Walk, Amble and Trot gaits can be realized through adjusting touchdown time, lift time and lifted height of each leg as well as the speed of switching front legs and hind legs.

Inverse Kinematics, Linkage Mechanism
- Through inputting the coordinate of the end of the leg into the visual PC software, the servo angle can be calculated by its inner processor so as to design cool actions.

Speed, Height and Inclination Adjustment
- PuppyPi's its height and inclination can also be adjusted to make it turn as walking.

Intelligent Self-balancing
- The built-in IMU sensor can monitor PuppyPi's posture in real-time to adjust its joints to balance the body.

AI Vision, Unlimited Creativity
- With built-in HD wide-angle camera of 1MP, PuppyPi is capable of recognizing and locating different targets to realize line following, crossing obstacle, face detection, ball shooting, color tracking, tag recognition and other creative AI games.

Crossing Obstacle
- PuppyPi can recognize the location of the stair to adjust its posture and action as well as switch the gait so as to complete crossing obstacle.

Line Following
- PuppyPi is able to recognize black and red line, and then calculate the location of the line so as to adjust the walking gait and realize line following.

Face Detection
- PuppyPi can load the trained models of face detection. When recognizing human face, it will interact with you.

Color Tracking
- Recognize the position of the ball, and continuously adjust its posture to track it.

Tag Recognition
- Recognize AprilTag and give different reactions according to different tags.

Ball Shooting
- Locate the ball, track it in real-time with PID algorithm, and then switch the gait to shoot the ball.

Support APP Control, FPV Image Feedback
- APP for Android and iOS mobiles are available. Via the APP, you can remotely control the robot and view what the robot sees.

First Person Vision, HD Transmitted Image
- The HD camera will transmit the FPV image to the APP bringing you realistic experience.

Flexible Vision Guided, Wide Angle Perception
- Via the APP, PuppyPi can be controlled at your fingertips.

Quickly Start AI Games
- Only one click to switch the various AI games, including color recognition, target tracking, etc.

Support Sensor Expansion, Create More Functions
- PuppyPi is compatible with MP3 module, touch sensor, dot matrix display, ultrasonic sensor and other modules making it possible to build more creative AI projects.

Obstacle Avoidance
- Combining with ultrasonic sensor, PuppyPi can range the distance of the obstacle ahead.

Dot Matrix Display
- Working with dot matrix module, PuppyPi can display the shape and color of the recognized objects.

ROS Robot Operating System. Global Popular Robotic Communication Framework
- ROS is an open-source meta operating system for robots. It provides some basic services, such as hardware abstraction, low-level device control, implementation of commonly used functionality, message-passing between processes, and package management.
- And it also offers the tools and library functions needed to obtain, compile, write, and run code across computers. It aims at providing code reuse support for robotics research and development.

Support Gazebo Simulation
- PuppyPi adopts ROS framework and supports Gazebo simulation. Gazebo brings a fresh approach for you to control PuppyPi and verify the algorithm in simulated environment, which reduces experimental requirements and improves efficiency.

Various Control Methods
- APP Control for Android/ iOS
- PC Control
- Wireless Handle Control for PS2

HD 120° Wide-angle Camera
- Support for Windows, Linux, and Openwrt system
- USB driver-free
- Mjpeg output

Powerful Coreless Servo
- PuppyPi adopts 8KG stainless steel coreless servos which features high accuracy, high efficiency, easy wiring and strong power.

High-rate Lipo Battery
- Adopt 7.4V 2200mAh 20C built-in high-rate Lipo battery extending PuppyPi's working time to 60 minutes.

Aluminium Alloy Body
- Aluminium alloy structure contributes to outstanding fall-resistance, anti-collision, inner protection, rigidity and load capacity!

Voltage Display Module
- Voltage display module can display the current battery level of PuppyPi letting you charge in time!

Powerful Control System
- Compared with the previous generation of boards for Raspberry Pi, its board for Raspberry Pi 4B makes breakthrough in processor speed, multimedia performance, memory and connection.
