CyberDog 2: Xiaomi introduces smart robot dog that can perform various tricks (PHOTOS, VIDEO)

Xiaomi has introduced the CyberDog 2 robot dog, which is capable not only of extending its paw according to the command, but also of performing difficult tricks. This cyber dog is an updated model of the 2021 CyberDog, which promises to be smarter and more flexible.

CyberDog 2 looks like a Doberman, weighs 8.9 kg, and is 36.7 cm tall. The robot dog is equipped with Xiaomi's patented CyberGear micromotors, which make it extremely flexible, thanks to which CyberDog 2 is able to perform complex tricks, such as continuous somersaults. Even if it falls, the robot can stand up on its own thanks to its unique structure. The speed of this dog's movement reaches 1.6 meters per second.

Inside the CyberDog 2 are 19 sensors that support its vision, touch, and hearing functions. Thanks to these sensors, the robot dog moves in space with high precision and confidence.

This robot dog is equipped also with a 1MP RGB camera, a 13MP AI interactive camera, ToF and LiDAR sensors, a depth-of-scene camera, an ultrasonic sensor, a 146-degree fisheye lens sensor, a force sensor, and two ultra-wideband sensors. In addition, this robot dog has four microphones and is compatible with the Xiaomi AI voice algorithm.

The company specifically designed the CyberDog 2 robot to be as open to programming as possible.

Also, the manufacturer paid special attention to the computing capabilities of this robot dog. It uses a main NX processor and two additional co-processors that provide 21 TOPS levels of performance.

The CyberDog 2 already can be ordered on Xiaomi's official website. In China, it costs 12,999 yuan, which is about 1,789 US dollars.

Recently, the American company Revolute Robotics introduced an unusual and multifunctional Hybrid Mobility Robot (HMR) drone that can move both on land and in the air.

And Samsung engineers at the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology developed a robot conductor that successfully conducted the South Korean National Symphony Orchestra during the Seoul International Music Festival.
