[Process Overview]

This case study demonstrates the delivery of a total solution for research quadruped robots, combining Magic Lab's 'MagicDog' with the NVIDIA DGX Spark supercomputer into a single Research Robot Platform + AI Learning Infrastructure package. A4AI, an AI solution specialist, introduced this integrated solution through Marosol (Bigwave Robotics) to advance the robot and AI research environment at Kangwon National University. Moving beyond simple hardware supply, this project includes second-phase development, securing an environment where a wide range of topics—from mobility in unstructured terrain to Human-Robot Interaction (HRI)—can be conducted on a single platform.

[Project Background and Purpose]

Recently, the field of robotics research has seen a rapid increase in demand for empirical research on mobility, autonomy, and Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) in actual unstructured environments, moving beyond simple simulations. However, research institutions and industry-academia partners often face structural difficulties when introducing quadruped robots, as each stage—hardware selection, inspection, setup, secondary development, and after-sales service—is typically managed separately.

To address this, A4AI aimed to rapidly establish a quadruped robot platform optimized for Kangwon National University's research environment.

The primary objective was the delivery of a total solution including secondary development and AI learning infrastructure, rather than simple robot supply, to enable full-scale R&D immediately upon introduction.

Accordingly, Marosol provided a one-stop total solution encompassing ▲selection of verified quadruped robot hardware ▲thorough pre-inspection via an Innovation Lab ▲integrated configuration of a supercomputer for AI training ▲and stable delivery, installation, training, and after-sales service.

Components

Robot	Magiclab MagicDog × 1 unit: It is a quadruped robot for equipped with scalability and the ability to navigate irregular terrain, and can be utilized in various robot R&D such as mobility research, autonomous driving research, and human-robot interaction (HRI) research.
Peripherals	DGX Spark (Dell Pro Max GB10 4TB) × 1 unit: As an NVIDIA-based high-performance AI workstation, it supports the operation of large-scale model training, reinforcement learning, and simulation environments, enabling Embodied AI Research combined with MagicDog.

Workflow

STEP 1.	[Requirement Analysis] Selecting the optimal quadruped robot model based on the research objectives and application scenarios of the client (A4AI) and the end-user institution (Kangwon National University)
STEP 2.	[Innovation Lab Inspection] Guaranteeing delivery quality at the Marosol Innovation Lab by pre-inspecting MagicDog’s walking stability, sensor operation, SDK integration, and communication status
STEP 3.	[Solution Packaging] Completing delivery preparations by integrating the MagicDog unit and the DGX Spark supercomputer into a single, unified research environment
STEP 4.	[Safe Delivery & Installation] Establishing the initial environment settings, communication, and control systems following safe delivery to the research site
STEP 5.	[Secondary Development Support] Providing technical consultation and supporting the development environment required for the secondary development process conducted by A4AI
STEP 6.	[User Training] Offering practical training on robot operation, SDK utilization, and safety protocols for immediate use
STEP 7.	[After-Sales Service] Managing continuous technical support and maintenance after implementation to ensure research proceeds without interruption

Features

Superior Quadruped Performance for Unstructured Terrain

: With stable walking capabilities on stairs, slopes, and rough terrain—areas inaccessible to wheel-based robots—this platform supports extensive research scenarios across both indoor and outdoor environments.

Platform Optimized for Research Scalability

: Beyond mobility studies, various Robot AI research topics, including Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), autonomous driving, reinforcement learning, and Sim-to-Real transfer, can be conducted on a single, unified platform.

Integration with High-Performance AI Infrastructure

: The package integration with the NVIDIA DGX Spark supercomputer provides an optimized environment for Embodied AI research, ranging from large-scale model training to real-time inference.

Total Solution Delivery Including Secondary Development

: Going beyond simple hardware supply, the solution is delivered with integrated secondary development support, allowing researchers to commence full-scale R&D immediately upon introduction.

One-Stop After-Sales Management System

: Marosol takes full responsibility for the entire process—from delivery and installation to initial setup, training, and maintenance—ensuring stable operation without any research downtime.

Results

Key Benefits	Immediate Research Readiness By enabling quadruped-based research to start immediately upon introduction without additional setup, the project lead time was significantly reduced. Broadened Research Scalability An environment was secured where multiple robot R&D topics—including unstructured terrain mobility, Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), and reinforcement learning-based gait control—can be conducted on a single platform. Enhanced Efficiency via Integrated AI Infrastructure Combining the platform with the DGX Spark supercomputer allows training, simulation, and empirical testing to coexist in one environment, drastically shortening the research cycle. Minimized Implementation Risk By providing a one-stop process—from Innovation Lab inspection and safe delivery to initial setup, training, and after-sales care—the initial trial-and-error often experienced by research institutions was minimized.
Client Feedback	Rather than simply purchasing robot hardware, we were able to implement a total solution that includes secondary development and AI learning infrastructure, allowing for rapid application within the Kangwon National University research environment. Thanks to Marosol’s Innovation Lab pre-inspection and one-stop after-sales management system, we were able to minimize risks during the implementation process. We expect that MagicDog’s walking performance on unstructured terrain and its high scalability will become core assets for our future Robotics and AI research. — A4AI
