MagicAtom MagicDog-W Standard Wheeled Quadruped Robot

MagicDog-W is the standard wheeled version of MagicAtom's quadruped platform. It weighs 22.5 kg with the battery and rolls on four 7-inch pneumatic tyres, but it is not limited to flat ground: the same body can switch between wheeled and legged locomotion, which is the feature that separates it from a conventional wheeled robot.

The robot is aimed at inspection, research, exhibition and interactive demonstration. Its 0–3 m/s speed range and 10 kg payload are modest compared with industrial quadrupeds, but the compact 670 × 350 × 650 mm body is easier to move between rooms, stands and demonstration areas.

Wheel and foot in one body

The source describes wheeled and legged modes as freely switchable, with motion data synchronised through the cloud and support for multi-robot coordination. Gait and wheel gliding are intelligently blended rather than treated as separate modes, so the robot can walk over a rough patch and then roll smoothly on a continuous floor.

The speed range is 0–3 m/s. That is fast enough for patrol and demonstration work, but the more important characteristic is continuity: the robot does not need to stop and be reconfigured when the surface changes from concrete to grass or from a ramp to a corridor.

Terrain, slopes and posture

The source gives a 60 cm obstacle height, a maximum slope of 40° and intelligent posture control that supports handstand walking. Those three figures describe a robot designed to handle steps, curbs, ramps and uneven ground without a dedicated rail or guide path.

The 60 cm figure is an obstacle height, not a minimum avoidance distance. In practice the robot still needs a route wide enough for its 670 mm standing length and a landing area on the far side of an obstacle. A site survey should check the actual step edges, surface grip and clearance rather than relying on the headline number alone.

Payload and expansion

The maximum payload is 10 kg. An expansion dock and interface backplane allow a LiDAR, gimbal or other peripheral to be mounted on the back, and the high-performance compute module is listed at 157 TOPS. That combination turns the robot into a mobile sensor platform rather than a fixed demonstration unit.

The onboard compute is 6 TOPS, with a 2D LiDAR, stereo camera, depth camera, 4K HD camera, fisheye camera and ultrasonic sensor providing the sensing base. Audio uses a ring microphone and speaker, and connectivity covers Wi-Fi 5, a 4G module and Bluetooth 5.0.

Head, expression and touch

The head is a visible part of the product rather than a simple sensor pod. It has a dedicated motor, rotates at least 100°, and displays 24 expressions. A touch sensor supports at least four touch methods, with the head responding through expression and voice feedback.

That interaction layer is useful in exhibitions, education and public-facing reception, where the robot needs to acknowledge a person rather than simply execute a route. The 16+1 motor layout includes the head motor and drives the body and legs.

Runtime and environment

The battery is an 8,200 mAh pack rated at 29.6 V. The source gives 2–4 hours of runtime and up to 8 hours of standby in testing. The operating range is -5 to 40°C, which is suitable for indoor work and mild outdoor conditions but not for freezing sites or sustained direct sun.

The robot supports OTA updates. The source notes that all figures come from laboratory testing and that actual performance varies with the environment and operating style, so runtime should be checked against the real route, payload and temperature.

Specification notes

The full manufacturer table is in the specifications tab. The mechanical package is 670 × 350 × 650 mm standing and 720 × 500 × 290 mm crouched, with an aluminium alloy and high-strength engineering-plastic body, 37.5 N·m maximum joint torque and a 22.5 kg weight including the battery.

The robot is a compact platform, not a heavy industrial machine. The 10 kg payload, 40° slope limit and -5 to 40°C range should be matched to the actual task before purchase, especially if the robot will carry a gimbal, LiDAR or other accessory that changes the centre of gravity.

Package and procurement

The standard package includes the MagicDog-W main unit, one 8,200 mAh smart battery, a charging adapter, a remote controller, documentation, the standard expansion dock interface backplane, optional peripheral mounting and technical support.

Enterprise procurement can include framework agreements, tiered rebates of 3–8% for multiple units, monthly or quarterly settlement for qualified buyers, a 13% VAT invoice, a dedicated account manager, custom development, SDK integration and a 7×24 service line. The source also lists more than 30 service locations with a 48-hour on-site response target.
