The world of robot friends just got a little tighter and a little more difficult. While Boston Dynamics Spot dominates the robotic dog scene, Lenovo has entered the ring with the “Daystar Bot GS.”

Companion robot dog has an extra leg compared to Boston Dynamics Spot

This robot dog has a similar design to Spot, but with one important difference: an extra leg. This add-on could potentially increase the stability and maneuverability of the Daystar Bot GS, especially on rough terrain.

According to reports, Daystar Bot GS is designed to work in harsh environments. It boasts “advanced control systems” that enable precise movements and navigation. “Advanced sensing algorithms” suggest that the robot dog can interpret its environment and react accordingly, while “IP66 protection” indicates its level of dust and water resistance, which is important for outdoor use.

Apart from these technical details, according to IT Home’s news, the planned applications of Daystar Bot GS are also revealed on the official website. Lenovo appears to be targeting “commercial, industrial, and public sectors,” citing potential uses in areas like construction, inspection, and even search and rescue.

While specific details about the Daystar Bot GS’s features remain confidential, its launch marks an exciting development in the robot dog market. It is not yet known whether the extra leg means a significant advantage over Spot and other competitors. But Lenovo’s entry into this growing field promises to spur further innovation and research into potential applications for robotic satellites. We hope the official release date set for later this year will reveal more about the Daystar Bot GS’s capabilities.
