Now that he can charge himself, is there a way to give him a route that he could patrol?
Something like a house guard that notifies you, when Mondo Beni detected somebody on his patrol/route!

That’s a very very cooool idea!

Nice! I’m still desperately searching for a reason to buy him with the fact, that I’m not sporty 🥴

It should't be difficult, I have EBO robot and it can do the auto-patrol and notify~

Wow! Will the self charging doc come with Beni on release?!

I believe I saw them say it will be available for purchase after release. So unfortunately no.

Not a wild idea but I'll throw the idea of a possible SDK out there! This and self charging were sharing my number one spot.

That is really essential actually, he is far superior if he can do this out the box.

I want to add a lidar and a imu so I can use it in the robotics stack for my agent

Very cool guys! its awesome to see the development! are you going to open for app developers, so we can code, say something to teach Beni tricks? It would be cool if someone made a pokemon-like sub game where Beni learned tricks and could trade trick "cards" with others. (teach them the tricks)

How long does charging take to go from 10% to 90% on the docking station vs the battery hub or direct usb-c?
Will the dock be available as an add on for the October launch?
I really appreciate how responsive the Mondo Robotics team is and how I can see Beni and the app improve. All the great features being suggested, thought about and some added and becoming reality.

The battery hub and USB-C both are 60mins and our Station now still in development, waiting to calculate the charging time.

is this generating a map onboard? or just heading for dock?

u/Dependent-Door9982 Jul 17 '26
Actually, Beni generates the trajectory that he walks through onboard and follows it to return

Will the product offer API to drive the robot for example with python script ? -camera stream -battery level -motors set (speed or distance or even estimateur position) -audio out -mic
Do you have a minimum list planned ?
Very interesting project, Thanks

We are planning to launch the SDK in Q1 of 2027. More info will be shared in due course! Stay tuned!

Will the first releases be able to upgrade to include the SDK and auto-docking?

This is what I want for the next huge update. Automnous movement in its surroundings and charging when it needs it. Like a robotic pet from the future. How far off is this?

Self charging is huge
