The XGO-Rider, developed by Luwu Intelligence from China, is the world’s first wheel-legged desktop AI robot. This compact and agile robot combines the mobility of wheeled robots with the obstacle-negotiation capabilities of legged robots, enabling it to move omnidirectionally and adapt to various terrains with ease. Its cute design, featuring a screen on top, is sure to capture the hearts of robotics enthusiasts and programming learners alike.

• AI-Powered. Leveraging the Raspberry Pi CM4 core and ChatGPT integration, the XGO-Rider boasts powerful AI capabilities. It can recognize gestures, faces, and even human skeletal structures, and it can track and follow human movement. Users can interact with it seamlessly and intuitively.
  
  
  
  
• Wheel-Legged Design. With its unique wheel-legged design, the XGO-Rider is capable of omnidirectional movement. Its Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), FOC brushless motors, and high-quality servos ensure smooth and stable motion, allowing it to navigate various uneven terrains.
  
  
  
  
• High-End Hardware. Equipped with a 5-megapixel camera, dual MEMS digital microphones, and a chambered speaker, it ensures effective image and voice interaction.
  
  
  
  
• Open Source. The XGO-Rider is open-sourced, allowing users to program it using Blockly and Python. It even supports customization through ROS (Robot Operating System) packages. Additionally, there is a version of the XGO-Rider based on the micro motherboard, compatible with the Makecode/MicroBlocks programming platform, which is especially suited for children’s introductory programming learning.
  
  
  
  

The XGO-Rider is primarily designed for educational purposes, helping people learn programming and robotics. It can also serve as an experimental tool for developing new algorithms and technologies in research fields. Additionally, you can use the XGO-Rider as a fun desktop companion for real-time interaction and entertainment.

While the XGO-Rider is quite unique, there are similar products on the market. For instance, EMO is another desktop AI robot with a similar appearance, size, and price to the XGO-Rider. However, EMO is mainly designed as a desktop companion, featuring advanced facial recognition, touch sensors, and a wide range of expressive animations, with a focus on entertainment and interaction.

The XGO-Rider’s crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter is nearing its end, with the current crowdfunding price set at $399 USD. The more affordable micro version is no longer available for crowdfunding purchase.

XGO-Rider 由来自中国的 Luwu 智能打造，是全球首款轮腿式桌面 AI 机器人。这个小巧紧凑的机器人将轮式机器人的灵活性与腿式机器人的障碍处理能力相结合，可以全方位移动，轻松适应各种地形。头顶一块屏幕的可爱造型应该会俘获不少机器人爱好者和编程学习者的心。

• AI 驱动： 借助 Raspberry Pi CM4 核心和 ChatGPT 集成，XGO-Rider 拥有强大的 AI 功能。它可以识别手势、面部、甚至人体骨架，并能够进行人体跟随移动。用户可与其进行无缝且直观的交互。
  
  
  
  
• 轮腿设计：凭借独特的轮腿设计，XGO-Rider 可以全方位移动。惯性测量单元（IMU）、FOC 无刷电机和高质量舵机，确保平稳和稳定的运动，应对各种不平整地形。
  
  
  
  
• 高配硬件：配备 500 万像素摄像头、双 MEMS 数字麦克风和腔体扬声器，确保图像和语音的交互效果。
  
  
  
  
• 开源：XGO-Rider 是开源的，允许用户使用 Blockly 和 Python 进行编程。它甚至支持 ROS（机器人操作系统）包的定制开发。XGO-Rider 还有一个基于 micro:bit 主板的版本，可以搭配 Makecode/MicroBlocks 编程平台使用，特别适合儿童的编程入门学习。
  
  
  
  

XGO-Rider 主要设计为教育用途，帮助人们学习编程和机器人技术。它也可以作为研发领域索新算法和技术的实验工具。除此之外，你也可以把 XGO-Rider 当作一个有趣的桌面伴侣，进行实时互动和娱乐。

虽然 XGO-Rider 很有特色，但市面上也有与其类似的产品。例如 EMO 就是一款在外观、尺寸、价格等方面与 XGO-Rider 相似的桌面 AI 机器人，不过 EMO 主要设计为桌面陪伴，具有先进的面部识别、触摸传感器和丰富的表情动画，侧重于娱乐和互动。

XGO-Rider 目前在 Kickstarter 上的众筹已接近尾声，目前众筹价为 $399 USD。较为便宜的 micro:bit 版本目前已不能众筹购买了。
