AlphaDog, a different kind of robot "Internet celebrity"

Robot dogs are all over social media again! But this time they are not for takeout or coffee. A car blogger directly took 3 different brands of robot dogs to a professional track for a straight-line acceleration race. Judging from the performance of each robot dog, it is indeed simple, rough and exciting.

Who can win?

It can be seen from the video that, except for the "staggering" Tiedan, the Alpha robot dog and Yushu robot dog can run relatively flexibly and quickly on flat ground, but Yushu's control distance seems to be a bit short, and he ran off the track halfway, losing the championship. The white Alpha robot dog that crossed the finish line first came from Weilan Technology. It shows that the Alpha robot dog can run 249 meters in 1 minute at the highest speed. If a 10-year-old child runs at full speed, he may not be able to catch up, so don't worry about not being able to keep up with your pace when walking the dog out. The Alpha robot dog can not only "walk briskly" on flat ground to meet people's daily life service scenarios, but also adapt to various complex and dangerous terrains. After all, outdoor road conditions are complex and changeable, and it is very necessary to have a robot dog that can go up and down stairs and deal with ramps and grass.

Such excellent athletic performance is inseparable from the two key core technologies that Blue Technology has independently developed in terms of athletic ability: the Alpha robot dog can adapt to various terrains at a frequency of 40,000 times per second, such as steps, slopes, obstacles, gravel roads, grass and snow, etc., and can infinitely switch movement gaits, methods and trajectories, and complete complex tasks in various scenarios during movement. Even if disturbed by external forces, it can quickly restore balance.

Run steadily and run long

As a quadruped robot product that is often used outdoors, battery life is also a hard measure of the robot dog's overall strength. If the battery life is only 30 minutes to 1 hour, it is far from enough. During use, you will most likely face the dilemma of walking out and carrying it back. Although the Alpha robot dog does not look much larger than other robot dogs, it has a built-in 23AH large-capacity lithium battery that can be quickly removed. The comprehensive battery life can reach 5 hours and the standby time is up to 18 hours. This data is comparable to the Boston Dynamics Spot ni that once turned out, and can basically meet the use needs in general scenarios.

It should be noted that in a high temperature environment, such as outdoors in summer, letting the robot dog run at high speed for a long time may cause overheating, and the robot dog will automatically enter a cooling state. So although walking the dog is fun, you still need to pay attention to the temperature.
