Description
Good for:
- Mobile filming, patrol/inspection and mapping work where a payload must stay level while moving
- Warehouse transfer and last-mile delivery pilots on the EDU developer platform
- Labs and enterprise teams who need efficient long-distance ground mobility with developer access
Not for:
- Buyers who need the EDU-W’s full sensor and compute list confirmed on an official page — launch coverage states it inherits the EDU platform and interfaces, but VBOT publishes no separate specification table for it
- Stair-heavy routes as the primary use — the wheel-leg form’s stated advantage is flat ground and distance, and VBOT does not publish stair figures for this model
- Anyone expecting the action camera in the launch photo to be included — it is the stabilisation demonstration payload
What a quote includes:
The EDU-W unit in your confirmed configuration, the standard box contents as confirmed with VBOT (not published), plus freight and duties as one landed total, confirmed by email before any payment. Your quote confirms the current guide price (¥49,988 as reported at launch in August 2026), the exact compute and sensor fit, and delivery timing.
Delivery, total cost & warranty:
Ships from China. Battery capacity and the resulting freight class are not published for this model, so your quote confirms the routing and the landed total for your country before any payment. Warranty terms are the manufacturer’s and are confirmed in your quote — VBOT does not publish them for the EDU-W.
Product FAQ
Q: How do the wheels and legs work together?
A: Hub motors in the wheels run in real-time coordination with the leg joints — the dog rolls efficiently on flat ground and uses its legs for obstacles and stability (VBOT launch materials).
Q: What is “ground-hover” stabilisation?
A: VBOT’s self-developed algorithm for the wheel-leg system: it actively compensates ground undulation so payloads and perception equipment stay steady. At the WRC 2026 launch the EDU-W carried an action camera over two 20 cm ramps with near-level footage.
Q: Is it faster than the standard EDU?
A: Its top speed is 2.5 m/s (about 9 km/h), and VBOT reports 50% better energy efficiency than the standard EDU under unified test conditions. VBOT has not published a top-speed figure for the standard EDU.
Q: Does it have the same compute and LiDAR as the EDU?
A: Launch coverage (Frontiers) states the EDU-W inherits the EDU series’ development platform, interfaces and expansion system, but no source publishes a separate compute/sensor table for the EDU-W. Your quote confirms the exact fit before you commit.
Q: What is the price?
A: Xinhua and other outlets reported an official China guide price of ¥49,988 at the August 2026 launch. PupRobot confirms the current price and landed total in your quote.
