RIG-Hover: Open-Source Desktop Embodied AI Balancing Robot
    With just a 3D printer and an electronics kit, you can bring to life this balancing, observing, and soulful desktop AI companion!

    As the second monumental milestone in Luwu Dynamics' RIG series, the intelligent desktop pet RIG-Hover perfectly balances hard-core geek control with desktop companionship aesthetics. Breaking the traditional balancing vehicle paradigm of "wide wheelbase and high center of gravity," it innovatively adopts a low-center-of-gravity, ultra-narrow track dual-wheel balancing configuration paired with an independent head articulation servo. It is not only a balancing master challenging physical boundaries, but also an embodied intelligent agent showcasing a captivating sense of cyber-life right on your desk.

Full-Stack Self-Developed: Reshaping the Embodied Brain
Powered by the high-performance ESP32-S3 chip, RIG-Hover runs on the custom-developed LUWU OS (featuring a hard-core 1ms driver control loop). The device connects directly to the official Luwu cloud, completing a seamless "edge-to-cloud" ecosystem loop. Leveraging robust cloud scheduling capabilities, Wenwen deeply integrates with large language models such as Qwen and DeepSeek, allowing it to comprehend complex commands and deliver highly "personality-driven" responses.

Exclusive Ecosystem: Injecting a Unique Soul
Paired with the LuwuBOT App ,it not only enables ultra-fast one-click Bluetooth network pairing but also unlocks a deep "Agent Cultivation System." You can freely switch between dedicated AI Agents and dynamically configure character settings. While thinking, it micro-oscillates to maintain balance; when questioned, it adjusts its head angle to listen intently. Through long-term companionship and interaction, it evolves a personality traits matrix exclusive to you.

Open Source & Extensible: Exploring Boundless Creativity
Inheriting the pure bloodline of open-source hardware and Maker culture, RIG-Hover fully supports 3D-printable chassis shells and open-source core code. Even on a cluttered desk, it can spin on a dime and navigate smoothly just like a unicycle. Whether serving as a visually striking daily stress-relief companion or utilized as a testbed for learning balancing algorithms and multimodal control, RIG-Hover offers you an infinite sandbox for exploration.

Why Choose RIG-Hover?
💡 True Intelligent Interaction: Head-Chassis Decoupled Humanoid Dynamics
emotional expressions are no longer cold and rigid; it pioneers the complete decoupling of visual perception from kinetic direction. It can slide its chassis to the left while keeping its head turned to the right, maintaining continuous gaze-lock on the user.

Supported Command Examples:

"Praise It": Executes an in-place 360° continuous spin + joyful head shaking.

"Report to Me": Precisely glides right in front of you + tilts up its head in a cute "head-tilt expression."

"Question/Think": High-frequency body micro-oscillations to balance + head tilting forward for intent listening.

"Activate Detection": Powers on the GC0308 camera + horizontal panoramic head scanning.

"Cyber Drift": Double-wheel differential rapid maneuvering + low-profile sliding.

⚙️ Revolutionary "Ultra-Narrow + Low Center of Gravity" Core Tech
Ultra-Narrow Unicycle-Grade Stance: Wheelbase compressed to the absolute limit. Within tiny desktop spaces, every millimeter of displacement is silky smooth and precise, elevating the dynamic beauty of "Embodied AI."

Low Center of Gravity Cyber Tumbler: Through extreme internal component stacking, heavy items like the battery and main control board are packed right above the wheel axle. It possesses incredible obstacle-clearing and self-recovery capabilities when facing small desktop hurdles (like data cables), remaining as steady as a rock.

🎨 High-Aesthetics + Highly Playable Multimodal Modules
 

• 1.09-inch Full-Color Circular TFT Screen: High-dynamic rendering of cyber-style expressions and Agent status updates.
• GC0308 HD Camera: 300k pixels, supporting snapshot recognition and multimodal interaction.
• Consumer-Grade EM3 Serial Bus Servo: Integrated into the head, featuring clutch protection and angle feedback. Can be manually twisted or bent while powered on without any risk of damage.
• High-Performance Dual BLDC Drive Motors: Paired with high-resolution encoders to achieve millimeter-level motion control.

🔌 Minimalist Electronic Architecture: Say Goodbye to Cluttered Wiring
 

• Fully Cascaded Topology: The dual brushless motor drivers and the head EM3 serial bus servo are interconnected via a high-integration bus, stripping internal cable routing down to the absolute minimum.
• Supercharged Battery Life: Built-in 500mAh high-rate battery with an onboard charging circuit. Features USB-C direct charging (5V/1A) and supports up to 1.5 hours of continuous hard-core self-balancing standby.

3D Printing Guidelines
Slicer Profiles: Multi-color single plate (requires AMS). Model print orientation and supports are optimized out-of-the-box; can be sliced and printed directly.

Printer Compatibility: Supports the full line of Bambu Lab printers (the config file targets the Bambu Lab A1 as it is our primary development machine).

Troubleshooting: If you experience poor print quality, fusing issues, or loose tolerances, please dry your filament thoroughly before re-printing.

Let's refine "Wenwen" together and enjoy the Maker spirit of 3D printing!
