WAVEGO Pro 12-DOF Bionic Dog-Like Robot, Open Source for ESP32 and Raspberry Pi, Supports ESP-NOW Host-Sub Control Mode
Product Description
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.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is the primary role of the ESP32 in WAVEGO Pro?
The ESP32 functions as a dedicated sub-controller responsible for real-time inverse kinematics solving of the multi-connecting rod legs and gait trajectory generation, effectively offloading intensive calculating tasks from the host processor.
Q: Which host controllers are compatible for high-level computing?
An additional Raspberry Pi 4B or Raspberry Pi 5 can be mounted as the host controller to process computer vision algorithms, AI decision-making tasks, and extended secondary development workflows.
Q: What visual and AI features does the onboard camera enable?
The integrated ultra-wide-angle camera pairs with OpenCV demo algorithms running on the host controller to perform real-time color tracking, motion detection, and face detection.
Q: How does the JSON protocol task replay functionality operate?
The robot accepts JSON instruction sets that can be recorded directly into task files. These preset sequences can be executed with a single click to repeat complex movement trajectories for demonstrations or rapid prototyping.
Q: What feedback parameters do the serial bus servos provide?
The 2.3kg.cm serial bus servos provide real-time telemetry back to the controller, including current joint position, operational velocity, and input voltage data.
Q: How does ESP-NOW facilitate communication with WAVEGO Pro?
ESP-NOW host-sub mode establishes a low-latency, peer-to-peer wireless protocol that allows swift instruction dispatching and responsive coordination without requiring a local Wi-Fi router setup.
