JetHexa Standard Kit — Jetson Nano ROS hexapod robot

Why JetHexa

Six legs. One brain. Every algorithm you want to try.

Wheeled robots are easy. Legged robots are the frontier. JetHexa gives you 18-DOF hexapod locomotion, a Jetson-class AI brain, and open-source Python — so your lab can research gait, biomechanics, terrain adaptation and embodied AI without building the mechanics from scratch.

JetHexa hexapod chassis — 18 intelligent serial-bus servos on hard-anodized aluminum alloy

Mechanical

18 intelligent servos. 35 KG torque. Hard-anodized aluminum body.

Six legs, three joints per leg, all driven by Hiwonder’s intelligent serial-bus servos rated at 35 KG-cm holding torque and 240° travel. The chassis is hard-anodized aluminum alloy — light enough for a student to lift, stiff enough to survive a research-lab lifetime.

Locomotion

Tripod, ripple, moonwalk — inverse kinematics done for you.

Three gaits ship pre-tuned, with real-time control over pitch, roll, direction, height, speed and stride. The inverse-kinematics solver runs on-board so you can teleoperate or script new motions in Python without solving 18 joint angles by hand. A built-in IMU keeps posture stable on rough terrain.

AI vision

YOLO, MediaPipe, KCF tracking — running natively on Jetson.

A 2-DoF pan/tilt monocular HD camera feeds an AI stack pre-tuned for the Jetson Nano: YOLO object detection, MediaPipe body / gesture recognition, KCF target tracking, color and line following, AprilTag pose estimation. TensorRT acceleration keeps every model at real-time framerates.

JetHexa control ecosystem — WonderAi app, gamepad, ROS terminal, keyboard

Control & ROS

ROS Melodic / Noetic, WonderAi app, gamepad — drive it any way you like.

Ubuntu 18.04 + ROS Melodic / Noetic pre-configured, with Gazebo simulation and RViz visualisation ready. Control JetHexa from the WonderAi iOS / Android app for demos, a wireless gamepad for competition runs, keyboard teleop for debugging, or your own ROS node for the actual research work.

Good to know

JetHexa questions, answered.

Yes — 18 DOF, 35 KG-cm servo torque, Jetson Nano B01, open-source Python and full ROS Melodic / Noetic support make JetHexa the go-to educational hexapod for locomotion research, gait engineering and embodied-AI experiments. Most Indian PhD / MTech groups can adopt it as their primary platform on day one.

The Standard Kit ships with a monocular HD camera — ideal for AI-vision courses, YOLO / MediaPipe experiments and locomotion research. The Advanced Kit adds a 3D depth camera and an EAI G4 360° Lidar so you can run full SLAM, 3D mapping and autonomous navigation on legged hardware.

Three gaits ship pre-tuned — tripod, ripple, and moonwalk — each with real-time control over pitch, roll, direction, height, speed and stride. The inverse-kinematics solver is exposed via Python, so students can design and script new gaits without solving 18 joint angles by hand.

Yes — the Jetson Nano B01 ships with TensorRT, TensorFlow, PyTorch, YOLO and MediaPipe pre-installed and pre-tuned. Colour tracking, KCF target tracking, gesture recognition, AprilTag pose estimation and MediaPipe body detection are ready-to-run demos. Add your own LLM / OpenAI integration for voice conversation.

Ubuntu 18.04 with both ROS Melodic and ROS Noetic pre-installed. Gazebo simulation and RViz visualisation are ready-to-launch. All Hiwonder Python nodes are open-source and fully annotated.

Yes — we offer bulk pricing for colleges and universities, GST invoicing at ₹ 1,29,000 excl. GST (No-Cost EMI from ₹ 14,334/mo across 9 months), GeM listing where required, and government-tender documentation. Ask for the institution price sheet on enquiry.

Manufacturer warranty plus the 1-Year xBoom AMC. Every unit ships with remote onboarding, a ROS + gait walkthrough session, and access to the full 150+ bilingual tutorial library. On-site training and departmental workshops are available on request.
