Robotic canines featuring aluminium amuse audiences at the Roboverse Expo

The Roboverse Expo, a collaboration between Manorama Online and Jain University, has captivated attendees of all ages, especially children. Held at the Rajiv Gandhi Indoor Stadium in Kadavanthra, Kochi, the event showcased intriguing exhibits, prominently featuring playful robot dogs.

Each 15 kg robot dog, a unique blend of aluminium alloy and robust engineering plastic, was a standout at the Roboverse Expo. These dogs, with their 12 knee joint motors, showcased a wide range of movements, from jumping and sitting to waving, circling, and even standing on their hind legs.

About the robots

Powered by an 8-core high-performance CPU, these robots boast a battery capacity of 8000 mAh, with an option to upgrade to 15000 mAh. These robotic canines proved to be a favourite among young visitors, who gleefully interacted with them throughout the expo. These robots are equipped with advanced 4D LiDAR sensors, enabling them to navigate obstacles effortlessly. With a wide field of view spanning 360 degrees horizontally and 90 degrees vertically, they can scan their surroundings up to a distance of 30 meters. This sophisticated sensor technology ensures precise and reliable movement, enhancing functionality and appeal to attendees of all ages at the expo.

Utilizing Vector Positioning and Control Technology alongside the ISS2.0 Intelligence Side Follow System, these robots emulate real puppies by walking alongside people. Their front camera, equipped with an ultra-wide lens, provides a 360-degree view, enhancing their role as reliable security guards. In addition to these capabilities, the robots are outfitted with speakers for playing music. They are responsive to voice commands and capable of lifting heavy weights. These advanced features position these robotic models as invaluable assets for future applications beyond human capabilities, particularly in defence and other demanding sectors.
