Hiwonder JetHexa ROS Hexapod Robot Kit Powered by Jetson Nano with Lidar Depth Camera Support SLAM Mapping and Navigation
- 【Powered by NVIDIA Jetson Nano】JetHexa is a hexapod robot powered by NVIDIA Jetson Nano B01 and supports Robot Operating System (ROS). It leverages mainstream deep learning frameworks, incorporates MediaPipe development, enables YOLO model training, and utilizes TensorRT acceleration.
- 【SLAM Development and AI Application】Equipped with a 3D depth camera and Lidar, it achieves precise 2D mapping, multi-point navigation, TEB path planning, Lidar tracking, and dynamic obstacle avoidance. Using 3D vision, it can capture point cloud images of the environment to achieve RTAB 3D mapping navigation.
- 【Inverse Kinematics Algorithm】JetHexa can switch between tripod gait and ripple gait flexibly. It employs an inverse kinematics algorithm, allowing it to perform "moonwalking" with fixed speed and height. Furthermore, JetHexa allows for adjustable pitch angle, roll angle, direction, speed, height, and stride, giving you complete control over its movements. With self-balancing function, JetHexa can conquer complex terrains with ease.
- 【Robot Control Across Platforms】JetHexa provides multiple control methods, like WonderAi app (compatible with iOS and Android system), wireless handle, Robot Operating System (ROS) and keyboard, allowing you to control the robot at will. By importing corresponding codes, you can command JetHexa to perform specific actions.
Questions & Answers

Getting started is bit unclear. Manuals does not mentioned anywhere to burn the SD card and use it. Whether SD card will be delivered or it should be purchased separately and burn ? this is unclear.
Hi there,
Before delivery, we have pre-installed the system image onto the SD card and inserted it into the controller. Please check it at your convenience. :)

Can this climb (indoor) stairs out of the box? If not, is programming this feature feasible?
The robot does not have a stair-climbing feature and is unable to climb regular stairs. It can only navigate steps with a height of approximately 3-4 cm
-
What are the dimensions of original box of the item?
Hi there, the package is 39*36*21cm . Do you want to order now?
-
Hi, Is it come with EU plug (france) if I bought this product ? Is it come fully assembled ? Thank you
Yes, we will provide an EU adapter, and the robot has been assembled
-
can I confirm Hiwonder JetHexa ROS Hexapod Robot Kit Powered by Jetson Nano with Lidar Depth Camera Support SLAM Mapping and Navigation come in assembled version with software installed?
Yes, it is assembled and with software installed.
-
I just bought my JetHexa from Amazon, and I love it! If I buy a 5V 4A power supply, can I connect that directly to the Jetson Nano board and keep the robot switch off? I am trying to find a way to keep the Nano board on for longer than one hour before recharge so that I can learn the programming. Thank you for your help!
Yes, you can program in this way, but cannot control the robot
-
Is the power supply that is required a standard DC supply or is it a LIPO Charger? What voltage and current range work on the input ?
LiPo battery. The working voltage is u00a09-12.6V
-
Is the seriously underpowered Jetson Nano the only controller choice? I would understand a significantly higher cost for a Jetson Orin NX with ROS2. Any time soon for a more modern controller?
Hi there, Jetson nano B01 can meet the requirement of JetHexa very well. You can refer to the tutorials
-
Is the Jetson Nano really a powerful enough controller for this? Most of the kits I've seen come with options for a much better Xavier or Orin board at a higher price. Can this bot be upgraded to say a Jason Orin NX controller and ROS2?
Yes, Jetson Nano can provide powerful computing power for JetHexa to implement various functions. You can upgrade it to Jason Orin NX controller and ROS2 by yourself!
