Support micro:bit Expansion
MechDog can be paired with micro:bit for enhanced and innovative development. The micro:bit controller is responsible for sensing and decision-making, while the ESP32 controller manages the movement of the robot. This integration enables MechDog to support features like touch control, expressive feedback, directional cruising, temperature sensing, and remote operation through micro:bit.
Touch-Sensing Dog
With just a touch on the micro:bit, MechDog joyfully shakes and lights up with a bright, happy pattern.
Guidance Dog
When MechDog's head strays from the compass's south direction, it nimbly realigns itself to find the right path again.
Temperature Sensing
When the temperature climbs to 30℃ or above, MechDog beams with a cheerful expression and playfully sits down.
Expression Changes
With a bit of programming, when you press a button on the micro:bit, MechDog instantly changes its expression.
Smart Wing
MechDog morphs into a majestic Pegasus unicorn, gracefully flapping its wings based on the distance to obstacles.
Intelligent Transport
Transform MechDog into a savvy transport robot, effortlessly loading, unloading, and moving objects with ease!
Robot Arm Gripping
Add a 2DOF robot arm to MechDog and unlock a world of new possibilities!
Angry Bull
When detecting an obstacle ahead, MechDog will turn its bull horns to push it out of the way.
App Control
Using the app, you can control the robotic arm to precisely grip and release objects.
Autonomous Gripping and Transport
MechDog Pro can autonomously grip and transport objects to a target destination via the app, showcasing true intelligent capability.
Support Group Control
Through the app, you can control multiple MechDogs to perform action groups simultaneously.
