Scratch Block Programming
Simplified programming for easy adoption. Use drag-and-drop blocks to create programs, making it accessible even for beginners without prior experience.
Python Programming
The hardware supports Python programming, enabling swift development with extensive libraries. This gives MechDog flexible control and expansion options for complex algorithms.
Touch Control
MechDog can respond differently to touch controls.
Light Sensing
MechDog can be awakened by sensing light brightness.
Dot Matrix Display
When measuring distance with ultrasound, data can be shown on the dot matrix display.
Singing and Dancing
The MP3 sensor can play music while MechDog dances.
Support micro:bit Expansion
MechDog can be paired with micro:bit for enhanced and innovative development. The micro:bit controller is responsible for sensing and decision-making, while the ESP32 controller manages the movement of the robot. This integration enables MechDog to support features like touch control, expressive feedback, directional cruising, temperature sensing, and remote operation through micro:bit.
Touch-Sensing Dog
With just a touch on the micro:bit, MechDog joyfully shakes and lights up with a bright, happy pattern.
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.
Glowy Ultrasonic Sensor
