The Rover X1 is an AI-powered "household intelligent agent" designed for home security, companionship, and light logistics. It features a hybrid wheel-leg design that combines the speed and efficiency of wheels on flat floors with the obstacle-clearing capabilities of legs. Equipped with an omnidirectional dual-vision system, it can autonomously follow users, carry items (like groceries or school bags), and patrol homes. It is built as an open platform, supporting both visual drag-and-drop coding and syntax-based programming, making it a versatile tool for STEM education and AI research.
