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.

Lidar SLAM Mapping, Path Planning & Obstacle Avoidance
ROSPug AI robot dog is powered by Jetson Nano and features high-performance TOF Lidar and an HD wide-angle camera, enabling the validation of various creative AI applications. The Lidar enables ROSPug to perform SLAM mapping and navigation, supporting path planning, fixed-point navigation, and dynamic obstacle avoidance.
ROSPug can perform tasks such as SLAM mapping navigation, path planning, dynamic obstacle avoidance, climbing, obstacle bypassing, and many other applications. Hiwonder also offers expansion solutions for ROSPug's capabilities, including deep learning, machine vision, and other secondary development projects to meet users' specific research needs.

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.
- Color recognition and tracking — perform different actions per color
- Autonomous stair climbing via visual judgment
- MediaPipe gesture and body recognition
- April Tag detection and coordinate recognition
- Ball shooting and circular drift using Lidar + vision

Graphical PC Software, App Control & Gazebo Simulation
Using the graphical PC software, you can effortlessly control servos and customize actions by simply dragging sliders — without the need for programming. All intelligent Python code is open source with detailed annotations for easy self-study. Hiwonder provides detailed quadruped kinematics analysis, ROS-based inverse kinematics functions, and parameter debugging software.
ROSPug employs the ROS framework and supports Gazebo simulation, providing users a valuable platform to validate quadruped kinematics algorithms and path planning in a virtual environment without physical hardware requirements. The WonderROS app (iOS/Android) enables remote robot control and live FPV camera viewing.
