Dancing Robotics

Robotics has become an integral part of modern society. Robots of various types are increasingly present in our surroundings, contributing significantly to industry, assisting people, and supporting a wide range of everyday tasks. Gaining an understanding of how robots work can be beneficial in many ways.

The Dancing Robotics project by Haimov Labs offers a unique opportunity to build a dancing RoboDog from the ground up. The different programs within this project are designed to accommodate individuals from diverse backgrounds and with varied interests, providing an accessible gateway into the fascinating world of modern robotics.

Program #0: Build Your Own RoboDog

  • Free Guide (PDF) + Free Video Guide (YouTube, TikTok)
  • This free quick guide on how to build your own RoboDog is intended for experienced professionals or highly motivated individuals who are ready to fill knowledge gaps as they go.

Program #1: Hardware Prerequisites

  • In this program, participants receive a comprehensive document detailing all the hardware components required to build the RoboDog.
  • Participants are responsible for purchasing the components themselves, either from local stores or online marketplaces such as AliExpress, eBay, Amazon, and others.
  • The document also includes a checklist and step-by-step testing instructions to ensure the proper functionality of all robotic components.
  • Once all components have been acquired and tested, participants can move on to the next program.
  • For any questions, participants are welcome to join our weekly Dancing Robotics meetings or reach out via email: haimov.labs@gmail.com or through our Telegram: https://t.me/@HaimovLabs.

Program #2: Build a RoboDog – Online Course

  • Prerequisites:
    • All hardware parts listed in Program #1
    • Tools (pliers, screw drivers, etc…)
    • Basic technical abilities
  • Certificate upon completion of the course
  • The course includes 10 online sessions, each lasting 30 minutes, followed by a 15-minute Q&A segment
  • The goal of the course is to guide participants through the physical assembly of a RoboDog
  • All sessions will be recorded and made available for those who are unable to attend live
  • The participants are expected to build their RoboDogs offline

Program #3: RoboDog Software Development – Online Course

  • Prerequisites:
    • Prebuilt RoboDog
    • PC/laptop with preinstalled Arduino IDE
    • Ability to write textual code and work in the Arduino IDE
  • The course includes 10 online sessions, each lasting 30 minutes, followed by a 15-minute Q&A segment.
  • The goal of the course is to guide participants on how to develop custom software that controls the RoboDog.
  • All sessions will be recorded and made available for those who are unable to attend live.
  • The participants are expected to write their RoboDog saftware offline

Program #4: Dance Choreography using RoboDog OS – Online Course

  • Prerequisites:
    • Prebuilt RoboDog
    • PC/laptop with preinstalled Arduino IDE
    • Basic technical skills
  • The course includes 10 online sessions, each lasting 30 minutes, followed by a 15-minute Q&A segment.
  • All sessions will be recorded and made available for those who are unable to attend live.
  • For individuals who are not interested in developing their own software to control a RoboDog, Haimov Labs offers a ready-to-use operating system. This system enables control of the RoboDog via Wi-Fi on a local network and supports the creation of intuitive dance scripts using a custom scripting language developed by Haimov Labs.
  • To better understand the RoboDog Operating System, users are welcome to attend an online course that covers all aspects of the system.
  • By the end of the course, participants will be able to script their own dance routines.

Program #5: RoboDog AI Integration – Online Course

  • Prerequisites:
    • Prebuilt RoboDog
    • Dedicated android smartphone with Gemini AI app by Google
    • Basic technical skills
  • AI has become an integral part of modern society. In this program, we will integrate AI into the RoboDog. This integration transforms the RoboDog into an interactive chat buddy* with whom you can discuss any topic.
  • The course includes two online sessions, each lasting 45 minutes.
  • All sessions will be recorded and made available for those who are unable to attend live.

* For the moment, AI is integrated for discussion purposes only and does not control the RoboDog or execute commands.
