Sirius is designed for versatility, supporting multiple control methods such as apps, remote controllers, and AR/VR systems. Its AI capabilities allow users to issue voice commands, making interactions natural and engaging. As a lightweight, 1kg robot crafted from aviation-grade aluminum alloy, Sirius demonstrates both form and function with elegant aesthetics and robust engineering. Its compact dimensions (250 × 130 × 250 mm) and extended range of motion enhance its realism, offering an emotionally engaging experience.
Hengbot emphasizes user customization with Sirius, providing a platform for developers and hobbyists to modify the robot’s capabilities. The Neurocore system functions as a modular foundation, allowing users to transform Sirius into various robotic forms, from cats to dinosaurs, with 3D printing or other creative methods. This flexibility ensures that Sirius serves as more than a toy; it is a tool for innovation and exploration within robotics.
The robotic dog’s AI-enhanced interaction capabilities are central to its appeal. Whether shaking hands, dancing, or tracking movements, Sirius responds intuitively to commands, creating a seamless user experience. Pre-set commands allow for immediate functionality, while developers can expand its repertoire. Communication interfaces such as USB, Wi-Fi, and serial ports support a wide range of applications, including educational and research endeavors.
Hengbot aims to establish a harmonious relationship between humans and robotics, evident in their vision for Sirius as a warm and intelligent companion. The robot’s battery life supports 100–120 minutes on standby and 45–50 minutes of active use, with a maximum speed of 0.4 m/s. Its programming compatibility with C, C++, and Python makes it accessible to both novice and expert developers, offering vast potential for creativity and functionality.
As Sirius gears up for its Kickstarter launch in March or April 2025, it reflects Hengbot’s ambition to democratize robotics. The planned pricing range of $600–700 positions Sirius as an affordable entry point into advanced robotics. Hengbot envisions Sirius evolving beyond entertainment to serve as an emotional robot assistant, enhancing everyday life with companionship and utility.
With a strong foundation in innovation, Hengbot continues to push the boundaries of robotics. Their focus on biomimicry and emotional interaction not only sets their products apart but also represents a broader shift in the industry toward integrating technology seamlessly into human lives. Sirius is just the beginning of Hengbot’s ambitious journey to redefine how we interact with intelligent machines.
Hengbot’s mission aligns with creating a sustainable and interactive “Hengbot Universe” where technology and imagination converge. By providing tools for users to design and evolve their robotic companions, Hengbot is fostering a new era of human-robot collaboration, where robotics serve as integral parts of our daily lives.
