Petoi Bittle – A Palm-Sized Open Source Bionic Robot Dog for STEM Learning and Fun
- Coding / STEAM / STEM / Robotics Learning: build and program your Bittle to perform new skills and tricks while harnessing all aspects of STEM learning. Begin with Scratch block-based coding and advance with Arduino IDE and C++/Python. Develop your moto, physics, engineering skills & problem-solving abilities.
- DIY your robot: an excellent and challenging hands-on learning opportunity to assemble your robot with 3D puzzle parts. Suitable for adults and children over the ages of 12.
- Program AI tasks: program Bittle to see, listen, sense the surrounding environment and navigate the world with the optional intelligent camera module or other Arduino/Raspberry Pi compatible sensors.
- Open Source robot: Bittle operates on OpenCat, an open-source quadruped robot platform published on Github that fuses multiple gadgets into one organic system, offering endless programming and customization possibilities.
The world’s First Palm-sized, Servo-activated Robot Dog
* Dimensions: 200 x 110 x 110mm(7.9 x 4.3 x 4.3inch); Weights: 290g(10.22oz)
Programmable Artificial Intelligence – Leverage the Open Source Hardware Module Ecosystem
- Built on NyBoard, a board fully compatible with Arduino Uno. In addition, common Arduino modules can be attached.
- Raspberry Pi support – can connect to a Raspberry Pi 3A+/Zero directly. It will power the Pi and communicate with the Pi through the serial port.
