Robotics workshop teaches ESP32 control of a Unitree Go2 robot dog via open-source dimOS
StewartalsopIII · x · 2026-10-20
Stewart Alsop is hosting an AI Whisperers robotics workshop on November 7 in Buenos Aires, teaching attendees to control a Unitree Go2 robot dog with an ESP32 board running dimOS, the open-source robot OS from Dimensional — marketed as controlling the dog "with the force alone."
- Format: a three-hour hands-on session where everyone gets a keepable ESP32, gets it running, then takes turns commanding the robot dog;
- Pricing: $10 early for new attendees (board included), $5 for returning attendees with a board;
- A larger game-based event using the same robot control skills is planned for later.
