Luwu Intelligence Technology has launched a new compact wheeled robot called XGO-Rider, designed to be a desk companion. The robot comes in two variants: one powered by a BBC micro:bit and a more advanced version powered by a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 (CM4). The CM4 version features artificial intelligence capabilities, including integration with OpenAI’s ChatGPT, gesture recognition, and face detection. Both versions are self-balancing and can run for around two hours on a single charge. The robot is currently funding on Kickstarter, with prices starting at $249 for the micro:bit version and $299 for the CM4 version. Shipping is expected to begin in August.
