VBOT SuperDog Datou EDU

Description

Good for:

• Robotics labs and enterprise R&D teams who want a ready quadruped platform instead of integrating one from parts
• Commercial-service developers building patrol, guiding, reception and inspection applications (retail, hotels, medical care, cultural tourism, campuses)
• Developers who need ROS 2 access, documented APIs and powered expansion for sensors or a third-party robotic arm

Not for:

• Buyers who need full published physical specifications before enquiring — VBOT has not published this model’s size, weight, battery or endurance figures
• Anyone expecting a robotic arm in the box — the EDU opens the data, control and power links for mainstream arms, but the arm itself is an optional accessory you choose separately (the product renders show one fitted)
• Home users who just want a companion — the consumer SuperDog is the pet; this is the workbench

What a quote includes:

The EDU unit in your confirmed configuration, the standard box contents as confirmed with VBOT (not published), any expansion modules or arm you choose to add, plus freight and duties as one landed total, confirmed by email before any payment. Your quote also confirms the current China guide price (¥39,988 as reported at launch in July 2026) and delivery timing — VBOT sells the EDU through B2B channels and does not publish lead times.

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. Developer resources VBOT has announced include ROS 2 interface definitions with a GitHub access guide, nine-chapter developer documentation, a web-based simulation engine and a developer community.

Product FAQ

Q: Is the robotic arm in the photos included?
A: No. VBOT has opened the data, control and power links between the EDU and mainstream robotic arms and grippers, and its launch renders show an arm fitted — but the arm is an optional accessory selected by the developer, not part of the standard product (confirmed in launch coverage by GeekPark).

Q: What development access do I get?
A: ROS 2 interface definitions with a GitHub guide, five opened interface categories (development base & system services, motion control, perception & autonomous mobility, intelligent interaction, system peripherals), plus standard physical ports: USB-C, 24V DC and CAN.

Q: How is this different from the consumer SuperDog?
A: The EDU is the same “Datou” (big-head) family opened up as a B2B development platform: specified 16-line LiDAR and depth binocular perception, documented ROS 2 and port-level access, and powered arm integration. The consumer model is a companion product sold through retail channels.

Q: What is the price?
A: Launch coverage (IPO Zaozhidao, GeekPark; July 2026) reports an official China guide price of ¥39,988. PupRobot confirms the current price, configuration and landed total in your quote before any payment.

Q: What has VBOT not published for this model?
A: Size, weight, degrees of freedom, battery capacity, endurance, payload, protection rating, box contents and warranty terms. We list only what launch sources document and confirm the rest in your quote — we never copy the consumer model’s figures across.
