Customer Reviews
MechDog Hiwonder Open Source AI Robot Dog with ESP32 Controller, High-Speed Coreless Servos Support Scratch, Arduino, and Python Programming
Great! I’m going to make my own project based on MechDog. Try adding more sensors to implement different tasks.
The kit comes fully equipped to start your project, and its potential extends far beyond the included instructions. There's no limit to the innovations possible with this kit. It is educational to be shown examples of how all these are achieved with a capable board, a bunch of sensors, and programming.
From its adorable design to its impressive array of features, this robotic companion offers endless entertainment and companionship. The built-in sensors ensure it navigates obstacles smoothly, making it perfect for indoor play. Highly recommended for dog lovers of all ages!
Mechdog is amazing! I checked PuppyPi when it was released, but it was bit too tricky for me. Then I stumbled upon this new robot dog, and I love how clear and easy the tutorials are.
Questions & Answers
Have a Question?
-
When trying to power on the MechDog the buzzer is putting out a very high pitched loud buzzing. The dog does not stand. What can I do to fix this?
The MechDog is equipped with a low battery warning feature. If you hear the "beep-beep" sound during operation, please turn off the MechDog and recharge the battery. Resume operation only after the battery is fully charged.

Hi cant flash the firmware in to the robot I have windows 10 help
It is generally not recommended to reflash the firmware of the robot dog, as the calibration offsets have already been adjusted. Reflashing the firmware would require recalibrating the offsets, which can be a time-consuming process. If you still need to reflash the firmware, the tutorial is provided here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1gTh1ArI1ZkuToINZXHQW8Qwxxx5t1iUv?usp=sharing
