Overview

A legs-only research biped sold as an on-ramp to humanoid RL: one purchase includes point, sole and wheel feet that auto-detect when swapped. The EDU edition opens low-level control and ships sim-to-real examples, which makes it a popular lab platform in China. It is bigger and far pricier than hobby wheel-leggers, but it is a real dynamic biped.
