PuppyPi Hiwonder Quadruped Robot with AI Vision Powered by Raspberry Pi ROS Open Source Robot Dog

We received our PuppyPi about 2 weeks ago. The packaging was solid and the robot was in excellent condition. By following the instructions and reading carefully, we were able to perform the out-of-the-box functionality in a matter of minutes. We connected the PuppyPI to the house Wi-Fi and used both our phones and the hand controller with very few issues. We played with the action groups and made the dog do many silly things. It was a blast!!

HOWEVER, we are now trying to understand the development environment and how to backup and deploy the software. I have coded in many languages over many years, although Python is not my best language. I am more of a Windows person and my son is more of an Linux person. We are learning the Robot Operating System and how Docker is being used on the Raspberry Pi. There is a HUGE amount of general documentation on Python, Linux, ROS and the peripherals. (Camera, Lidar, etc.) There is not much documentation on how the environment is installed on the Raspberry PI and how to set up an external development environment to dest before deploying code to the Raspberry Pi. I am hoping to find a user community to help us over some of our hurdles and so we don't misrepresent anyof the issues we are facing. We will be posting some videos on YouTube of the Out-of-the-Box functions and basic actions. The we will post our development efforts and challenges. I hope this spurs interest in this product. It is worth every penny. It is an excellent entry into programming robotics. The environment is a little outdated and we may have issues with version compatibility. Still, it was an excellent purchase and is a good challenge.

I've been looking for a walking robot based on ROS that I could learn from and this HiWonder RaspberryPi ROS robot is the perfect platform. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to learn ROS and have an excellent high quality platform. I like inventing in education to make myself better and I love to experiment with robots. This one covers all the high end robotics you could think of. I give it an 11/10 stars! I am very impressed. Works out of the box if you don't want or care about programming just remote control it with your phone or a PS2 style controllers- works beautifully! Totally worth its weight in gold! I got mine from Amazon, but you can also order from their website. Links below to buy and the resources to download documentation, code, sample experiments (they are excellent and super fun!). Best investment I made this year! Lots of ROS jobs out there too.
I did a first reaction video and plan to do a lot more videos reviewing all of the tools and software games-experiments! So excited!

Thanks to the great work of the support team, very professional with my issue. Everything is working fine now.
Its design and manufacturing quality are excellent, its body is solid and durable, and its details are also very good.

I gave the robot to my daughter's birthday present. I really like the documents and source code. Thanks.

This is an amazing, little robot. Superb product right out of the box and instant entertainment. Every inch is quality engineered, right down to the software app and preprogrammed commands. I love it!
Worry free transaction to the States and super, fast shipping. Thank you.
