Chinese enterprise launches first all terrain riding robot dog

According to the website of Hong Kong's South China Morning Post on December 26th, a Chinese company has launched the world's first robotic dog characterized by precise motor control capability, which allows it to carry people through rugged terrain and is suitable for various purposes

According to reports, in a video posted on social media, the developer of this robotic dog, Yushu Technology, showcased a four-wheel legged robotic dog model B2-W. It not only has precise motion control functions, but can also perform high difficulty acrobatic movements

In the video, B2-W demonstrated actions such as aerial flipping and inversion, as well as outstanding stability when rushing down steep rocky slopes, crossing obstacles through water, and overcoming various rugged terrains

The video also shows the scene of this robotic dog jumping from a height of 1.9 meters upside down on both legs. In standard quadruped mode, it can jump from a height of about 3 meters and use flexible leg movements to alleviate impact

According to reports, in a test video released by the Hangzhou based company, B2-W was able to easily carry an adult uphill and downhill, demonstrating its load-bearing and balancing abilities

After personally experiencing the B2-W, a reviewer said, "Yushu Technology's B2 series is the world's first and only robot dog designed with riding capabilities. It demonstrates extraordinary biomimetic performance." The latest video showcases the maneuverability and control capabilities of this robot dog, reflecting its rapid improvement since Yushu Technology released the previous video of B2-W

A spokesperson for Yushu Technology stated, "This video reflects the updates we have made to our internal algorithms to enhance their functionality." According to the company's official website, B2-W weighs approximately 75 kilograms and has been in mass production for a year

This robotic dog is powered by electricity and can work continuously for more than 5 hours in an unloaded state. Its maximum moving speed is 20 kilometers per hour, and its maximum range with a 40 kilogram load is 50 kilometers

It is also equipped with advanced laser radar, depth camera, high-resolution optical camera, and high-power wheel motor

Yushu Technology is a well-known "price disruptor" in the robotics industry, with its humanoid robot G1 priced at less than 100000 yuan, far below Tesla's "Optimus Prime" robot estimated to be priced at around 20000 US dollars. The company's previously released smaller Go2 robotic dog was priced at less than 20000 yuan

According to reports, earlier this year, Yushu Technology's robotic dog made an appearance in the China Cambodia "Jinlong-2024" joint performance. The Go2 robotic dog served as a "scout" during the exercise, while the heavier robotic dog B1 was equipped with a rifle
