Project Growth
Thank you for letting us share these moments of growth. This project began in a very simple place.
2021: Our first rough little robot dog
At this stage, the robot dog still could not walk.
2021: Our tech lead exploring the algorithms
Our tech lead crawled on the floor himself while exploring 4-DOF robot gait algorithms.
2021: The first-generation robot dog B1
This was our first robot dog version, built with LEGO blocks. We open-sourced its gait node algorithms—the same gait style later seen in many imitations.
2022: The second-generation robot dog B2
This was our first fully autonomous robot dog, already able to perform all kinds of demos on a desk.
2023: The third-generation robot dog B3
In this version we introduced Chinese kung fu concepts and designed a structure that is symmetrical front-to-back and top-to-bottom.
2024: The fourth-generation robot dog B4KT2
This is B4KT2, the fourth-generation robot dog designed for the Kickstarter project.
2024: The fourth-generation robot dog B4DIY
This is B4DIY2, our fourth-generation robot dog made for robotics education and beginners.
