Overview

The real step up from servo dogs at this price, with brushless actuators with a learned walking policy instead of scripted gaits, plus a Pi 5 with an AI accelerator for on-board voice/vision. It requires assembly and 3D-printed parts, and there is no lidar (one must be added for SLAM). The best pick for programming the robot and running AI on it.
