WAVEGO PRO
High-DOF Bionic Quadruped Robot
Powered by ESP32 sub controller & Raspberry Pi 4B / 5 host controller


The WAVEGO Pro is a high-DOF bionic dog-like robot which features 2.3kg.cm serial bus servos, reliable structure, and flexible motion, incorporating devices like 9-axis motion tracker, RGB indicator, etc., together with open source multi-platform Web application. It uses the ESP32 as sub controller for connecting rod inverse solving and gait generation, sharing the calculating task for the host controller. An additional Raspberry Pi 4B or Raspberry Pi 5 can be attached as the host controller for high-level decision-making.
The upgraded WAVEGO Pro also integrates an ultra-wide-angle camera, enabling visual functions such as color tracking, motion detection, and face detection. It also adds support for JSON protocol communication and ESP-NOW host-sub control mode, and allows saving JSON instructions for robot control as task files. By calling these task files, the robot's motion trajectory can be replayed with a single click, facilitating educational demonstrations and rapid prototyping.
Product Features

* the 5MP camera is only included in RPI WAVEGO Pro ACCE and PI5 WAVEGO Pro KIT
Remote Control Via Web
Auto-generated WiFi Hotspot on startup, needs no compiling environment configuration, allows connecting to and login the control page via smartphone or PC browser, without installing an app

Supports Motion Recording and One-Click Playback
The robotic dog can save JSON instructions for robot control as task files. The task files can be saved in the Flash of ESP32, which will not be lost in case of power loss. The robotic dog can perform complex and repetitive operations by calling these task files.

Developing High-Level Functions
An Raspberry Pi 4B / 5 can be attached as host controller to communicate with the sub controller via UART, the ESP32 sub controller will share lots of calculating task like connecting rod inverse solving and gait generation, retaining more Raspberry Pi performance for developing high-level functions
