This robots software is only compatible with the 2021 “buster” version of Raspberrypi OS which is no longer available for download from Raspberrypi.com.
The adeept provided setup.py program which loads the needed adeept programs and the dependency libraries is not compatible with the current “bookworm” OS release. Adeept does provide an image of this old OS which can be installed using Raspberrypi Imager, however I was unable to get this image to boot on my Raspberrypi 4. Perhaps it would work on a Raspberrypi 3 but the robot description states it to be compatible with the 4 as well and that was not the case for me.
I think this product is well made and the tutorials are adequate. However, they have made no effort to keep the needed software and setup scripts current. So while it likely worked fine on a Rapsberrypi 3 when it was released, trying to create the original software environment 3 years later is quit problematic.
I am returning this robot and will likely purchase a more recent product after making sure that its software is developed for the current “bookworm” based release of the Raspberrypi OS.
