Quadruped Teaching Kit

A course and hardware package for universities, technical colleges and research labs. The portfolio describes 96 hours over two semesters, eight teaching-material categories in English and Chinese, 200+ video lessons and 300+ exercises.

Listed hardware includes a depth camera and LiDAR, voice module, 156 TOPS computing module, and open control and low-level interfaces. Confirm the exact kit, robot compatibility, software access and included teaching resources during scoping.

Discuss the teaching kit ↗

Product descriptions and reference specifications are from the FRWRD Events & Education portfolio, which attributes them to manufacturer data. Figures are subject to change and confirmation. Availability, exact configuration, software access, training and support are agreed for the selected system and project.

Discuss a project ↗

Define the use case before choosing the robot.

Begin with the learning objective: interaction, observation, embodied AI, mobility, grasping or manipulation. The education range includes the Compact Interactive Humanoid, G1, D1 Edu, OmniHand variants and a quadruped teaching kit.

Share the room layout, participants, intended activity and supervision arrangements. Do not assume a robot is suitable for an unsupervised classroom or every research task.

How we scope it

What to settle before a pilot.

  1. The taskOne repeated task with an output you can check. A robot is chosen around the task, not the other way round.
  2. The siteWork area, dimensions, surfaces, access and who else is working there. Drawings or photographs help.
  3. The systemWhich supplied system fits. Manufacturer figures are reference specifications, not guaranteed output on your project.
  4. The evaluationWhat a useful result looks like, and what your team needs to operate the system.
  5. After handoverEngineering integration, commissioning, training and maintenance from FRWRD. Scope and operation responsibilities are agreed for the project.

Buyer questions

Start with the task.

How should we scope an education or research evaluation?

Start with the teaching or research objective, the users, the space and the capabilities to test. Scope and commercial terms must be confirmed for the selected platform.

What support is included in an education or research project?

For an education or research project, FRWRD provides engineering integration, commissioning, training and maintenance. The scope and operation responsibilities must be agreed for the selected platform. An included staffing package is not assumed.

How do we select a system for education or research use?

Compare the teaching or research objective, the users, the space and the capabilities to test, then confirm fit with FRWRD. Bring the requirement rather than choosing from specifications alone.

Does FRWRD manufacture the education and research platforms?

FRWRD does not manufacture the systems shown here. FRWRD supplies systems and handles deployment, engineering integration, commissioning, training and maintenance. The scope is agreed for the selected system and project.

What must we assess before adapting a system for education or research use?

For education or research use, start with the teaching or research objective, the users, the space and the capabilities to test, access and the existing workflow. Configuration changes and the responsibilities of the team must be agreed for the pilot, not assumed.

How do we decide whether an education or research pilot is useful?

An education or research pilot should have a defined task and a result that can be checked. Bring the teaching or research objective, the users, the space and the capabilities to test. Agree what to measure, including the result, operating time and the effort needed to run the system. See robotics pilots.

Can we rent a system for education or research use?

Ask about the selected platform and project. Purchase, rental and pilot availability and terms are confirmed individually; this page does not guarantee that every system is available to rent.
