The latest version of the four-legged “Jueying” robot dog was released on November 1. “This new version is featured by remarkable kinetic and perceptive capabilities. It has made another major breakthrough in algorithms, particularly in bounding and jumping,” introduced ZHU Qiuguo from the Zhejiang University College of Control Science and Engineering.
The new “Jueying” robot dog is 85 centimeters in length, 65 centimeters in height when standing, and approximately 40 kilograms in weight. It is more agile and sleeker, marked by a more streamlined body and a more friendly interactive experience. On the strength of its bionic leg design and more powerful joints, it can jump over a 40-centimeter-high hurdle with ease and leap out to the mark of 1.5 meters in the standing long jump.
“The new ‘Jueying’ robot dog possesses better kinetic mobility, environmental adaptability and perceptual intelligence. The ‘bounding’ ability can be better presented due to its new prediction function. It can on across a brick road forcefully and smoothly. Meanwhile, it can rely on its superb perceptive ability to find its own ‘doghouse’—a charging post—to recharge itself,” said LI Chao, one member on the research and development team for the “Jueying” robot dog.
It is expected to play its vital role in daily life and production, especially in complex industrial and mining zones and railway tunnels. As a legged robot, it can easily perform inspection tasks thanks to its camera and other sensing and detection gadgets.
