Powered by ESP32 sub controller & Raspberry Pi 4B host controller
The WAVEGO is a high-DOF bionic dog-like robot which features 2.3kg.cm large torque servos, reliable structure, and flexible motion, incorporating devices like front camera, 9-axes motion tracker, RGB indicator, etc., together with open source multi-platform Web application. It uses the ESP32 as sub controller for connecting rod inverse solving and gait generation, sharing calculating task for the host controller, an additional Raspberry Pi can be attached as the host controller for high-level decision operating.
- Overall 12-DOF, multi connecting rods leg design, increasing the servo effective torque
- A real time operating system is used as sub controller for connecting rod inverse solving and gait generation, sharing calculating task for the host controller and improving the gait solving efficiency
- Ultra compact structure design, allows using on the table, aluminum alloy + nylon structure materials, ensuring strength while keeping it light weight
- Additional Raspberry Pi can beattached as the host controller to enable OpenCV high-level functions, demo codes including facial recognition, motion detection, color tracking, and more. Reserved extension interface for secondary development, along with user manual and secondary development documents.
* the Raspberry Pi board is NOT included in the WAVEGO EX kit.

significantly increasing the servo effective torque
5052 aluminum alloy and PA12 nylon structure materials, 40 sets of bearing joint all over the body,
rugged and reliable structure, ensuring strength while keeping it light weight
Embedded high precision 9-axes motion tracker ICM20948
Accommodating To Different Terrains, keeping the camera stable by self-balancing
allows using OpenCV-based functions like facial recognition, color tracking, motion detection, and more
facial recognition
color tracking
auto-generated WiFi Hotspot on startup, needs no compiling environment configuration,
allows connecting to and login the control page via smartphone or PC browser, without installing app
an Raspberry Pi can be attached as host controller to communicate with the sub controller via UART,
the ESP32 sub controller will share lots of calculating task like connecting rod inverse solving and gait generation, retaining more Raspberry Pi performance for developing high-level functions
SAFETY CAUTIONS
- Li-ion and Li-po batteries are quite unstable. They may cause fire, personal injury, or property damage, if they're not properly recharged or used.
- Do not reversely connect the polarities when recharging or discharging the battery. Do not use inferior charger/charging panel to recharge the battery.
- Do not mix use old batteries with new ones, avoid using batteries of different brands.
- When buying Lithium battery, should always make sure the battery specification is compatible with the expansion board. Choose batteries from formal manufacturer, and ensure the batteries will work stably and safely by aging test.
- Lithium batteries have limited cycle life, they will also deteriorate as time goes by. Should be replaced with new ones when the batteries reaching their max cycle life, or working over two years, whichever comes first.
- Should be placed carefully and properly, keep it away from inflammables and explosives articles, away from children, avoid any safety accident caused by careless storage.
