MirrorMe BPX Pro Quadruped Robot
The MirrorMe BPX Pro is the high-performance edition of the Black Panther X, an open modular quadruped that ships as more than 500 industrial-grade components for the user to assemble, program and extend. Built by MirrorMe Technology, the company whose Black Panther II holds the quadruped speed record, the BPX Pro brings 53 Nm joints, a 10-kilogram payload, 4 m/s top speed and up to four hours of runtime to a platform designed for developers, STEM and K-12 education and embodied-AI research.
Where most robot dogs arrive sealed, the Black Panther X arrives as a mechanical engineering project with an open SDK, CAD and URDF models, ROS 2 and NVIDIA Isaac Sim support, and expansion ports for Jetson, Raspberry Pi, LiDAR and depth cameras. The Pro doubles the standard edition's battery and runtime, raises joint torque and payload, and keeps everything else open.
Background and Development
MirrorMe Technology was formally established in May 2024 and is headquartered in Shanghai, with a team drawn from Zhejiang University. Founder and CEO Wang Hongtao holds doctorates from Tsinghua University and Harvard and is a professor at Zhejiang University. The company gained global attention in 2025 when its Black Panther 2.0 quadruped broke the quadruped speed record that Boston Dynamics' WildCat had held for over a decade, and it has since launched the industrial Apollo quadruped, the BAOBAO home robot and the Bolt humanoid.
The Black Panther X carries that lineage into an open platform. Rather than another closed robot dog, MirrorMe designed it to be taken apart: a 1:1 modular structural assembly with 12 high-performance joints, open interfaces and code, and 3D-printable shells. The standard BPX launched through a Kickstarter campaign at an entry-level price with a 1.5-hour battery and about 5 to 8 kilograms of payload; the BPX Pro is the upgraded edition for users who need more torque, load and endurance from the same open architecture.
Design and Engineering
Modular Construction
The BPX Pro comprises over 500 industrial-grade components in high-strength aluminium alloy and engineering plastics, assembled in a 1:1 modular structure. Assembly is a genuine mechanical-engineering exercise, and every joint, shell and interface remains accessible afterwards for modification.
Joints and Dynamics
Twelve degrees of freedom are driven by joints with peak torque of about 53 Nm, up from roughly 33 Nm on the standard BPX. The robot reaches 4 m/s, climbs 30-degree slopes and clears obstacles up to 20 centimetres. It supports walk, bound, pace and pronk gaits, left and right flips, automatic recovery after a fall and a soft emergency stop.
Battery and Runtime
A 28.8 V, 418 Wh battery delivers up to four hours of operation, more than double the standard edition's 167 Wh and 1.5 hours.
Open Development
The native SDK, CAD and URDF models are fully accessible, with support for ROS 2, Gazebo and NVIDIA Isaac Sim. External compute and sensors mount directly: NVIDIA Jetson, Raspberry Pi, LiDAR and depth cameras connect over USB, Gigabit Ethernet and regulated 24 to 33 V power outputs.
Control Options
The robot is driven from the BAOBOT app on iOS and Android, an optional USB gamepad, or hobby radio controllers through a calibratable SBUS port. Firmware updates arrive over the air, and an integrated Wi-Fi hotspot handles wireless connection.

Who is the MirrorMe BPX Pro for?
The BPX Pro is built for universities and research groups that want a quadruped they can modify at the hardware level, not just the software, with four hours of runtime for extended experiments in locomotion, reinforcement learning and sensor fusion. It suits engineering faculties and STEM and K-12 programmes using assembly as the curriculum, and developers prototyping embodied-AI applications on Jetson or Raspberry Pi with LiDAR and depth cameras. Startups and integrators needing a 10-kilogram-payload platform for inspection or delivery proofs of concept will find it far cheaper than enterprise quadrupeds, and makers and robotics clubs get FPV, gesture control and stunt modes alongside the serious tooling.
What is the MirrorMe BPX Pro used for?
- Robotics education: hands-on assembly, mechanics and programming from classroom to lab.
- Locomotion and control research: custom gaits and controllers via the open SDK, ROS 2 and Isaac Sim.
- Embodied-AI development: on-board Jetson or Raspberry Pi with LiDAR and depth cameras.
- Payload prototyping: carrying up to 10 kilograms of sensors or custom equipment over stairs and slopes.
- Simulation-to-real workflows: URDF and CAD models for Gazebo and Isaac Sim before deployment.
- Maker and competition projects: FPV racing, gesture control, flips and custom 3D-printed shells.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the MirrorMe BPX Pro?
The upgraded edition of MirrorMe's Black Panther X, an open modular quadruped robot supplied as over 500 components for assembly, with 53 Nm joints, 10 kg payload, 4 m/s speed and up to four hours of runtime.
How is the BPX Pro different from the standard BPX?
The Pro raises joint torque from about 33 to about 53 Nm, payload to 10 kg, and battery from 167 Wh to 418 Wh, extending runtime from 1.5 to four hours, while sharing the same 12-joint open architecture.
Do I have to assemble it myself?
Yes. The Black Panther X is designed as a 1:1 modular build, which is central to its educational and development purpose.
Which software does it support?
An open SDK with URDF and CAD models, plus ROS 2, Gazebo and NVIDIA Isaac Sim, with on-board support for NVIDIA Jetson and Raspberry Pi.
Can it climb stairs?
It clears obstacles up to 20 cm and slopes up to 30°, enough for standard stair treads and ramps.
Is it related to the Black Panther II speed-record robot?
It inherits technology from MirrorMe's record-holding quadrupeds, but it is a 4 m/s open development platform rather than the 10 m/s-plus research sprinter.
Where can I buy the MirrorMe BPX Pro?
The BPX Pro is available for purchase through this page, with quotations, specifications and delivery arrangements provided on request.
