Xiaomi’s latest robot dog, CyberDog 2, costs $3,000 (nearly double the $1,600 price point of its predecessor)
The robot can also flip, as seen in some of the promotional video. It opted not to perform that specific task this morning, though I don’t doubt it can.
As one CSAIL professor working with the school’s Mini-Cheetah robot once told me, “flipping is much easier than walking” when it comes to these machines.
It’s an important reminder of how robot design is fundamentally different than ours.
Xiaomi is positioning the system as a kind of home robot — albeit a prohibitively expensive one. The above video also suggests that the robot dog might one day replace the real thing, owing to its ability to speak back.
