Xiaomi CyberDog 2

Under Review Open Source Humanoid & General Purpose · Four Legs
Xiaomi's second-generation robot dog — a third the weight of the original CyberDog, packed with a 19-sensor perception suite and an NVIDIA Jetson-class compute module. Its ROS 2 SDK is published on GitHub under Apache 2.0, though some modules (like voice-assistant integration) remain closed-source binaries.

Reference Price

Launched in China at ¥12,999 (~$1,780–1,800) in August 2023. Xiaomi has not opened an official international sales channel — a ~$3,000 price reported at MWC 2024 reflects import/reseller markup rather than an official global retail price. robotindex could not verify a live official price for buyers outside China.

Sensors & Hardware

CyberDog 2 packs 19 sensors in an 8.9 kg body: four RGB cameras, an Intel RealSense stereo depth camera, time-of-flight sensors, a YDLIDAR TG30 unit, ultrasonic and UWB sensors, and a quad-mic array — per a TechInsights teardown, not Xiaomi's marketing. Compute is an NVIDIA Jetson-class module (Carmel CPU, Volta GPU, 8GB RAM), not Qualcomm as sometimes assumed.

Insights

CyberDog 2's "open source" branding refers specifically to Xiaomi's published ROS 2 SDK (Apache 2.0) — a partial release, not open hardware or firmware, with modules like Xiaoai voice-assistant integration shipping closed-source and disabled by default. No verified official international retail price exists either. The most recent international sighting found is a July 2025 first-time Brazil showcase at the Eletrolar Show — over a year old as of this writing — with no newer product news surfacing since; treat this listing as increasingly stale pending confirmation of any 2026 activity.

Firmware & Community

MiRoboticsLab/cyberdog_ros2
Official ROS 2 packages (Apache 2.0) for perception, navigation, and control on Ubuntu. Scope is partial: some modules, including Xiaoai voice-assistant integration, ship as closed-source binaries disabled by default, and full firmware / the underlying motor-control stack are not released.

Moved from Featured to Under Review — with the most recent public sighting over a year old (July 2025) and no confirmed international retail channel ever established, it's no longer reliable to recommend at a Featured level. Specs sourced from IEEE Spectrum's Robots Guide, TechNode's coverage of the August 2023 China launch, a TechInsights hardware teardown, TechCrunch's MWC 2024 report, and Xiaomi's own cyberdog_ros2 GitHub repo, as of September 2026. A search for newer activity turned up only a July 2025 Brazil showcase (Forbes Brasil, Mundo Conectado, and other Brazilian outlets, at the Eletrolar Show) as the most recent public sighting. "Open Source" here refers specifically to the published ROS 2 SDK (Apache 2.0) — it is a partial release, not fully open hardware or firmware, and some software modules remain closed-source. Battery life (~1.5 hr) is single-sourced. No verified official international retail price exists; the ~$3,000 figure some outlets cite reflects reseller markup, not an Xiaomi list price. robotindex does not sell this product.
