Key Points

  • OpenGo is introduced as an OpenClaw-powered robotic dog that can switch among multiple skills in real time based on scene context and task/language instructions.
  • The system includes a customizable skill library with easy import and autonomous validation, plus a dispatcher that selects and invokes skills according to prompts.
  • A self-learning framework fine-tunes skills using task completion signals and human feedback to improve performance across scenarios.
  • The authors deploy and validate OpenGo on Unitree’s Go2 robot, demonstrating autonomous self-checking and skill switching.
  • By integrating Feishu-platform communication, OpenGo enables natural-language guidance so non-expert users can control the robot and provide feedback via simple instructions.

Abstract

Adaptation to complex tasks and multiple scenarios remains a significant challenge for a single robot agent. The ability to acquire organize, and switch between a wide range of skills in real time, particularly in dynamic environments, has become a fundamental requirement for embodied intelligence. We introduce OpenGo, an OpenClaw-powered embodied robotic dog capable of switching skills in real time according to the scene and task instructions. Specifically, the agent is equipped with (1) a customizable skill library with easy skill import and autonomous skill validation, (2) a dispatcher that selects and invokes different skills according to task prompts or language instructions, and (3) a self-learning framework that fine-tunes skills based on task completion and human feedback. We deploy the agent in Unitree's Go2 robotic dog and validate its capabilities in self-checking and switching of skills autonomously. In addition, by integrating Feishu-platform communication, we enable natural-language guidance and human feedback, allowing inexperienced users to control the robotic dog through simple instructions.
