8DOF AI Quadruped Robot
* PuppyPi is an 8DOF quadruped robot equipped with high-performance coreless servos, providing precise and flexible motion control for executing complex actions accurately.


Powered by Raspberry Pi
* PuppyPi is powered by a Raspberry Pi control system and features a 2DOF HD wide-angle camera. Combined with the image processing and Python programming, it supports a wide range of AI projects and experiments.

AI Vision for Unlimited Creativity
* The PuppyPi robot dog is equipped with an HD wide-angle camera on its head, enabling real-time image acquisition and processing using a vision library. It can detect and extract parameters such as the color and position of target objects within its field of view. The system supports a range of vision-based functions, including video streaming, color recognition, tag identification, and line following. By applying a PID control algorithm, Hiwonder PuppyPi achieves real-time target locking, enabling advanced AI applications such as target tracking and autonomous ball kicking.

Object Tracking
* Powered by the vision library, the PuppyPi Raspberry Pi dog can detect and locate objects of a specific color in real time. Using PID control, its head can actively track moving targets with precision.


Going Up and Down Stairs
* Hiwonder PuppyPi uses the vision library to accurately detect the spatial position and geometric contours of stairs within its view. With autonomous decision-making, it can efficiently and steadily climb stairs on its own.


Tag Recognition
* Using algorithms, the PuppyPi AI robotic dog can recognize and interpret tag codes within its field of view. It can also calculate each tag's position and orientation, allowing users to program customized interactive movements.


Face Detection
* Hiwonder PuppyPi features a built-in MediaPipe deep learning algorithm that works with a high-definition camera to accurately detect and lock onto human faces. Users can program PuppyPi to perform responsive actions based on facial detection.


Autonomous Hurdling
* Using the vision library, the PuppyPi quadruped robot dog can detect obstacles in real time while following a path, determine their coordinates, and dynamically adjust its posture. It then autonomously makes decisions to smoothly navigate and overcome obstacles.


Line Following
* With AI vision and PID motion control, Hiwonder PuppyPi can identify colored lines in its view and autonomously adjust its gait to follow the path smoothly and stably.

Large Model Embodied AI Applications
* The PuppyPi Raspberry Pi robot is equipped with a high-performance AI voice interaction module. Unlike conventional AI systems that operate on unidirectional command-response mechanisms, the PuppyPi AI robot dog leverages ChatGPT to enable a cognitive transition from semantic understanding to physical execution, significantly enhancing the fluidity and naturalness of human–machine interaction. Combined with machine vision, Hiwonder PuppyPi demonstrates advanced capabilities in perception, reasoning, and autonomous action, paving the way for sophisticated embodied AI applications.
