Wow, a smart battery that you can just screw open, not even a single plastic clip.
GNSS means "Global Navigation Satellite System" and usually refers to all the systems (GPS, Galileo, Glonass, etc.) together.
Really wanted to see one of the legs disassembled all the way, since that is really the magical mechanical part of the robot. So close then you put it back together. Thank you for sharing the partial tear down with us.
He did a great job tearing down that robot dog! I disassembled my Unitree dog down to the motors and every last screw and assembled it back together with no problem!
How you'll skipped the motors...this was the most interesting part and reason watched this far. 😢
The technology in this is already crazy and the price point makes it even crazier.
My first time seeing a teardown of a robot dog or any animated robot. Felt like they were doing surgery and felt a bit queezy even 😂 great video, thank you for sharing!
great! More robot teardowns
1) The wifi and bluetooth are handled by the white BL-M8852BU1 module with the QR code on it. The white Radison thing is an antenna. 2) Global Navigation Satellite System ( GNSS ) refers to any satellite constellation that provides global positioning, navigation, and timing services. Several GNSS are currently available: Galileo (EU) GPS (USA) 3) The silver EC20 module with the GNSS is a LTE Cat-4 module providing location and LTE data communications
Finally someone, who clearly differentiates the categories that spot and unitree are in!! Every other video I have seen, people have been commenting how unitree is much better, because it can do much more things, but you cant compare these two (a toy and an industrial machine). I have access to both the robots and have worked with them and both have their pros and cons :)
Poka-yoke! Where has that expression been my whole life? iFixit teardowns are always expert and revealing, but this one is next level. Amazing tech for the price. I assume hackers will give it autonomy in no time! (Our eyeballs are passive, no laser required). Back-drivable limbs despite gears - smooth.
The most satisfying part is that you have all the exact right screwdriver bits
As good a teardown as i've ever seen. Great camera and lighting, Clear and precise commentry. I wonder when the AMS / ST TOF chips will overtake the spinning LIDAR, must be close now with multi pixel parts now speeding up. Seems odd they hide the chip ID's while they are at a pricepoint where hackers (makers) would love to add features if open source was available. Replacing the main board to use the mechanical body wouldn't be beyond many peoples skill. Would be amazing if you could just buy 4 legs. Great video.
I don't understand how they are able to sell at such a low price. The 12 actuators look similar to the Mini Cheetah actuator design. They found a way to manufacture those at a very low cost. Impressive!
Would be nice if they did a teardown of inside the actuators to see how they can create them for so cheap
I have absolutely no use for one of these, but I want one so badly 😂
Part 2 for legs and motors please!
Neat stuff, I didn't know anybody was making a consumer version of SPOT. Thanks for sharing!
Sensational teardown video! Perhaps a detailed video on the motors and motor control circuitry?
