Petoi: OpenCat Demo

Mentioned on IEEE Spectrum: More reads on Hackster: 优酷： We are developing programmable and highly maneuverable quadruped robots for STEM education and AI-enhanced services. Its compact and bionic design makes it the only affordable consumer robot that mimics various mammal gaits and reacts to surroundings. Its innovative soft joints reduce wear or shock and extends the lifetime of hardware. An Arduino & Raspberry Pi board excel in adaptive motion and mind separately, which allows simple coding (C & Python) and control (touch, infrared, BLE, Wifi, voice, vision) interfaces. We have made 7 iterations within past 1.5 years. We got 2 lines of working prototypes. Model Mini is a stand-alone motion kit powered by Arduino. It holds all the skills for gaits and adjustment on a $2 micro-controller. It’s also the lightest and fastest 8-DoF
