Learning Environment

The course is built around the MagicDog bionic quadruped robot platform by Magic Atom. The platform is equipped with multimodal perception modules, including 3D LiDAR, HD cameras, touch sensors, and sound sensors, supporting practical training in robot perception, motion control, and home companion interaction.

MagicDog supports multiple anthropomorphic actions, such as standing, jumping, shaking the head, wagging the tail, and waving. Based on the Magic Atom open-source SDK and bionic motion library, the platform provides pre-set actions and secondary development interfaces. Learners can call existing motion functions or develop custom control programs for emotional interaction, smart home control, and home companion applications.

The platform provides a practical hardware foundation for embodied AI application development, helping learners connect perception data, robot motion, voice interaction, and smart home devices in real-world service scenarios.
