Product Introduction
Biomimetic Quadruped AI Robot — Built for ROS Research
ROSPug walking posture aluminum alloy body
Driven by Jetson Nano — Dual Controller

12 High-Voltage Servos with Aluminum Alloy Body

ROSPug employs 12 high-performance servos distributed across its elbow, shoulder, and hip joints of each leg, closely mimicking the posture of a real quadruped animal. Its entire body is crafted from aluminum alloy, with the calf joint reinforced by metal bearings, ensuring both low weight and high strength.

ROSPug features a link structure design that enhances the speed of the calf joint and ensures smooth motion without interference, thereby extending the leg's rotation range. The 12 intelligent serial bus servos provide 30KG torque with exceptional accuracy, data feedback, easy wiring, and support for a robust 12V voltage power supply.

The dual-controller design combines the advanced AI computing capability of the Jetson Nano with the high-frequency control functions of the MCU. This integration enhances operational accuracy, enabling the system to tackle more complex challenges and explore a wider range of creative AI applications.

AI Vision — Unlimited Creativity

Color Tracking, Face Detection & MediaPipe Control

ROSPug is equipped with an HD wide-angle camera and utilizes the OpenCV library for efficient image processing, enabling a diverse range of AI applications including target recognition, localization, line following, obstacle avoidance, face detection, ball shooting, color tracking, and April Tag recognition.

ROSPug can recognize color lines and calculate the location of the line so as to adjust its walking gait and realize line following. Using independent visual judgment, ROSPug can identify the position and height of stairs and autonomously navigate up and down — and the IMU sensor enables real-time posture correction to maintain balance on inclined surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
ROSPug FAQ
What makes ROSPug's dual-controller design special?
ROSPug features a dual-controller design that combines the advanced AI computing capability of the Jetson Nano with the high-frequency control functions of the MCU. This integration allows the AI controller to handle vision, SLAM, and decision-making tasks while the MCU maintains precise, low-latency servo control — enhancing operational accuracy and enabling the system to tackle more complex robotic challenges simultaneously.
What gaits does ROSPug support and can I customize them?
ROSPug supports ripple gait and trot gait out of the box, with dynamic switching via the self-developed balancing algorithm. Using the inverse kinematics source code provided, you can customize touch time, lift time, lifted height, and stride for each leg. The visual PC software allows drag-and-drop endpoint editing for action group creation without any coding required.
Can ROSPug climb stairs autonomously?
Yes. ROSPug uses independent visual judgment to identify the position and height of stairs within its camera view, then autonomously adjusts its gait to climb up and down. The IMU sensor enables real-time posture correction — regardless of surface inclination, ROSPug dynamically adjusts its joints to maintain balance. It can also navigate obstacles and bypass barriers using Lidar-guided path planning.
What AI vision features are built in?
ROSPug supports color recognition and tracking, line following, face detection and tracking, emotion recognition, ball shooting, MediaPipe body and gesture recognition, April Tag detection, obstacle avoidance, and circular drift using Lidar combined with visual localization.
Is Gazebo simulation supported for development?
Yes. ROSPug fully supports Gazebo simulation within the ROS framework. You can validate quadruped kinematics algorithms, test path planning, and simulate obstacle avoidance scenarios virtually before running experiments on the physical robot. RViz provides visual data for observing the robot's end-effector trajectory and center of gravity to optimize algorithms.
