XGO-lite3/mini2S: World’s First Raspberry Pi Robotic Dog with An Arm

Intelligent, agile, and open-sourced, XGO brings the latest automated robotic dog technology to your desk at an affordable price.The 15-DOF Series: Mobile Manipulation for Everyone.

In 2023 KickStarter, XGO 2, World’s First Raspberry Pi Robotic Dog with An Arm

1.Quadruped Platform (lite3 & mini2S)

The XGO Quadruped Platform is more than just a robot dog; it is a Desktop Mobile Manipulator. Both the lite3 and mini2S come standard with a 15-DOF architecture: 12 DOF for Locomotion: Enabling omnidirectional movement, 6D posture control, and terrain adaptation. 3 DOF for Manipulation: An integrated Robotic Gripper (Arm) for picking, placing, and interacting with the environment.Powered by the unified Raspberry Pi CM5 brain, they share the same codebase but utilize distinct actuation technologies to serve different developmental stages.

Table.1 Selection Matrix: Education vs. Research

⚠️ CRITICAL POWER WARNING

XGO-lite3 is designed for convenience: Charge via standard USB Type-C (5V).

XGO-mini2S requires performance power: Charge via the included 8.4V 4A DC Charger.

3. Core Technologies

Despite their mechanical differences, both robots share Luwu Intelligence's core control stack:

• IMU Self-Stabilization: Closed-loop attitude control ensures the chassis remains level even when the surface tilts or moves.

• 6-DOF Posture Control: The feet remain fixed while the body adjusts Pitch, Roll, Yaw, Heave, Surge, and Sway.

• Kinematics Simulation: Fully compatible with Rviz / Gazebo for simulation-to-reality (Sim2Real) workflows.

• AI Ecosystem: Native support for Machine Vision (Face/Gesture), Speech Recognition, and Secondary Development via Serial Protocol.
