At the Mobile World Congress (MWC), Xiaomi showcased its latest innovation in robotics, the CyberDog 2.

This bio-inspired quadruped robot represents a significant leap forward in robotics technology, boasting a fusion sensing and decision-making system powered by 19 sensors for vision, touch, and hearing.

Designed to mimic the movements, appearance, and interactions of a real dog, CyberDog 2 exemplifies Xiaomi’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of robotics.

The open-source nature of its technology fosters an ecosystem ripe for customization and programming, offering developers endless creative possibilities.

The evolution of AI bionics in CyberDog 2

Xiaomi envisions a future where bionic robots play a pivotal role in everyday life. With its passionate engineering team dedicated to innovation, Xiaomi strives to advance robotics and create technology that enhances human society.

The incorporation of bionic concepts into every design detail, coupled with highly integrated components, results in a compact yet powerful machine.

CyberDog 2’s bionic appearance, inspired by the Doberman Pinscher, combined with optimized body proportions, brings its bionics to life, making it both visually striking and functional.

Enhanced performance and capabilities of the CyberDog

Weighing approximately 8.9kg, CyberDog 2 is 40 percent lighter than its predecessor, yet it packs a punch in terms of performance.

Equipped with 12 self-developed micromotors and advanced motion control algorithms, its sports ability reaches new heights. The robot’s single motor torque accuracy is 50 percent higher than the previous generation, with peak torque density reaching an impressive 37.85Nm/kg.

This combination of high explosive power and dynamic response enables CyberDog 2 to execute difficult movements with precision.

AI reinforcement learning platform

CyberDog 2’s AI reinforcement learning platform enables independent learning, allowing it to acquire new skills continuously.

Through repeated simulation and training by over 30,000 AI-simulated dogs, every movement becomes natural and lifelike. This platform ensures that CyberDog 2 evolves and adapts, mirroring the behavior of a real dog.

AI multi-modal fusion perception decision-making system

Powered by a high-computing NX chip capable of 21 trillion operations per second, CyberDog 2’s AI multi-modal fusion perception decision-making system enables it to navigate complex environments with ease.

With 19 sensors providing multi-dimensional perception capabilities, the robot can recognize both its surroundings and human commands swiftly. Additionally, its four sets of microphones and Xiaomi AI voice algorithm facilitate seamless communication with users.

Deep open-source platform

Xiaomi’s commitment to collaboration and innovation is evident in its deep open-source platform for quadruped robots.

Co-created with developers worldwide, this platform encourages exploration and experimentation in artificial intelligence and robotics.

From system code to functional interfaces to appearance and structural drawings, Xiaomi empowers developers to unlock the full potential of CyberDog 2.

A leap forward in robotics technology

Xiaomi’s CyberDog 2 represents a significant milestone in robotics innovation, showcasing the company’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of what is possible.

With its advanced capabilities, lifelike movements, and open-source platform, It paves the way for a future where bionic robots are seamlessly integrated into everyday life.
