Tiny Boston Dynamics Robot Dog Is a Android Pet That Can Follow Commands
- mech422 4y agoHmm - looks more like an MIT Cheetah then a BD robot... (it doesn't appear to be either - I think its a bespoke design) still for $278 for the kit, and all open source code it could be fun!
- jimsmart 4y agoHeadline here is misleading: it's not a Boston Dynamics' robot dog. It's made by Petoi, and called Bittle. — I own one, after backing the kickstarter for it. It's a cool introduction to microcontrollers, programming and such. Although it's more at the animatronics end of the scale than full-blown robotics, due to the usefulness and quantity of the sensors on it. It's quite versatile though, for what it is: has a few expansion parts (sensors, alternate controller board, etc) available from the same company, and can kinda connect to any stuff one might connect to a hobbyist microcontroller. The code for it is actively developed on Github (OpenCat).
