Guidance Dog
When MechDog's head strays from the compass's south direction, it nimbly realigns itself to find the right path again.
Temperature Sensing
When the temperature climbs to 30℃ or above, MechDog beams with a cheerful expression and playfully sits down.
Expression Changes
With a bit of programming, when you press a button on the micro:bit, MechDog instantly changes its expression.
Smart Wing
MechDog morphs into a majestic Pegasus unicorn, gracefully flapping its wings based on the distance to obstacles.
Intelligent Transport
Transform MechDog into a savvy transport robot, effortlessly loading, unloading, and moving objects with ease!
Robot Arm Gripping
Add a 2DOF robot arm to MechDog and unlock a world of new possibilities!
Angry Bull
When detecting an obstacle ahead, MechDog will turn its bull horns to push it out of the way.
App Control
Using the app, you can control the robotic arm to precisely grip and release objects.
Autonomous Gripping and Transport
MechDog Pro can autonomously grip and transport objects to a target destination via the app, showcasing true intelligent capability.
Face Detection
Once MechDog Pro recognizes a human face using the ESP32-S3 vision module, it will trigger a vibration on the phone.
Distance Detection
After detecting the obstacle's distance with the ultrasonic sensor, the data will be sent to the app.
Color Detection
MechDog Pro can recognize red, green, and blue objects, then display the corresponding color on the app.
RGB Light Control
