Cyberdog
Xiaomi's open-source bio-inspired quadruped robot
Contact for pricing
CyberDog is Xiaomi's first bio-inspired quadruped robot, launched as an open-source platform for developers and robotics enthusiasts. It uses Xiaomi's in-house servo motors for agile movement and a range of high-precision sensors and cameras for environmental perception, navigation, and owner-following. It is powered by an NVIDIA Jetson Xavier NX edge-AI computing platform and controlled via voice, a remote, or a companion app.

Overview
CyberDog is Xiaomi's first foray into quadruped robotics, introduced as an open-source robot companion that developers worldwide can build upon. Announced by Xiaomi in Beijing, it was positioned less as a finished consumer product and more as a co-creation platform for engineers, robotics enthusiasts, and Xiaomi fans.
The robot is calibrated with Xiaomi's in-house developed servo motors, giving it speed, agility, and a wide range of motion that lets it perform high-speed movement and complex actions such as backflips. Its brain is the NVIDIA Jetson Xavier NX edge-AI platform, which processes data from an array of onboard sensors in real time.
To model the behaviour of a living animal, CyberDog combines touch sensors, cameras, ultrasonic sensors, and GPS with Xiaomi's smartphone-derived imaging technology. This enables autonomous object tracking, SLAM-based mapping and navigation, obstacle avoidance, and the ability to recognise and follow its owner, while voice commands, a remote, and a companion app provide pet-like interaction.
