The Xiaomi robot dog will appear in 100 stores in China

Xiaomi has officially announced that the recently announced CyberDog robot dog will be available in 100 Mi Home stores across China. The manufacturer confirmed that the company intends to bring the novelty to major cities and provincial capitals as soon as possible.

Everyone immediately realized that Xiaomi, without being too shy, took the design of the famous Spot robot from Boston Dynamic as a basis, but few people thought about the colossal price difference between these robots. The Spot robot developed by Boston Dynamic is offered for $ 74,500, while the Xiaomi CyberDog costs about 50 times less, or rather $ 1,540.

Xiaomi CyberDog uses the Nvidia Jetson Xavier NX platform, is also equipped with a 128 GB solid-state drive, a dozen high-precision sensors, including GPS, and can move at speeds up to 3.2 m / s. CyberDog allows you to recognize users by their faces as well as by their figures. CyberDog also supports voice control. For this, the robot has six microphones.

Xiaomi has stated that it is an open-source project and anyone can participate. Xiaomi hopes to create a complete hardware development platform to help developers explore more of the bionic robot's capabilities. While the majority is focused on drones, Xiaomi hopes to become an industry leader, encourage more developers to contribute, and quickly advance the market segment.
