Case study

Sirius Dev Kit: Hengbot Sirius API and action-format findings

Sirius Dev Kit documents a measured investigation of the Hengbot Sirius robot dog and provides a browser control tool. Its findings map command behavior, ROS topics, sensor readings, and the robot’s RIFF/AVI action-file structure. Firmware comparisons identify changes to the ToF sensor path, while the tool uses the documented interfaces for robot control.
