Why ROSPug

A research-grade quadruped that your lab can afford.

You don’t need a ₹30-lakh flagship to run publication-grade quadruped locomotion research. ROSPug ships with the same primitives — 12 DOF, TOF Lidar, IMU, SLAM, ROS — on hardware a college department can actually procure. Fully open Python, Gazebo simulation, and inverse-kinematics source code in the box.

ROSPug dual-controller hardware — NVIDIA Jetson Nano AI board plus high-frequency MCU
Dual-controller brain

Jetson Nano for AI. High-frequency MCU for gait. Best of both worlds.

Vision, SLAM, MediaPipe and heavy AI workloads run on the NVIDIA Jetson Nano. Gait control — every servo, every joint, every millisecond — runs on a dedicated high-frequency MCU. Neither task steals cycles from the other, so the robot can chase a moving target while balancing on one leg.

ROSPug all-aluminium body with metal-bearing reinforced calf joints
Mechanical

12 × 30 KG servos. All-aluminium body. Metal-bearing joints.

Twelve high-voltage strong-magnetic serial-bus servos rated at 30 KG-cm torque drive the elbow, shoulder and hip joints. The chassis is milled aluminium alloy with metal-bearing reinforced calf joints — strong enough for stair climbing, light enough for a student to carry. Link-structure legs replicate real bionic biomechanics.

ROSPug gaits — ripple and trot with dynamic balance and stair climbing
Locomotion

Ripple gait. Trot gait. Stair climbing. IMU balance.

An in-house dynamic-balancing kinematics engine drives two ready-to-run gaits — ripple for stability and trot for speed — and dynamically switches between them. A 6-axis IMU corrects posture in real time on uneven terrain, and ROSPug climbs standard stair risers out of the box. Adjust pitch, roll, height and stride from Python.

Good to know

ROSPug questions, answered.

Yes — 12 DOF, dual-controller (Jetson Nano AI + dedicated MCU gait), TOF Lidar, 6-axis IMU, ROS Melodic, Gazebo and open-source Python with inverse-kinematics source. Most Indian PhD / MTech quadruped-locomotion groups can adopt it as their primary platform on day one.

Two brains do two different jobs. The NVIDIA Jetson Nano runs AI, vision, SLAM and any Python you throw at it. A dedicated high-frequency MCU runs the servo bus — every joint update, every millisecond, in real time. Neither task steals cycles from the other, so gait control never stutters while Jetson is chewing through a YOLO frame.

Two gaits ship pre-tuned — ripple (stable) and trot (fast) — with real-time control over pitch, roll, direction, height, speed and stride. Dynamic gait switching is built in. The inverse-kinematics solver is exposed via Python, so students can design and script new gaits without solving 12 joint angles by hand.

Yes. A 6-axis IMU corrects posture in real time — ROSPug walks over books, wire trays, tiles and slopes without falling over. Standard staircase risers are within its climb envelope. Metal-bearing reinforced calf joints handle the impact loading.

Ubuntu 18.04 with ROS Melodic pre-installed, and full Gazebo simulation with an accurate URDF for sim-to-real work. RViz visualisation is ready-to-launch. All source Python is open and annotated — not a black box.

Yes — bulk pricing for colleges and universities, GST invoicing at ₹ 1,43,983 excl. GST, No-Cost EMI from ₹ 15,999/mo across 9 months (via Snapmint at checkout), GeM listing where required, and government-tender documentation. Ask for the institution price sheet on enquiry.
