Tencent Robotics X ↗

Overview

A research quadruped from Tencent's Robotics X lab, unveiled in March 2021, with wheels on its knees so it can glide at up to 25 km/h, walk, or stand on its hind legs, and it has shown backflips. It followed Tencent's earlier Jamoca dog (2020) and later served as the platform for the lab's imitation-learning and 'lifelike agility' locomotion research. Never commercialized.
