OpenCat
the Open Source Quadruped Robotic Pet Framework

Dream of building your own robot pets?

Countless efforts have been made to develop robots that look and
behave like real pets, human's best friends. Yet quadruped robotic
systems have been very complex and take a big upfront capital and
lots of expertise to start. It was too difficult for individuals to
get a dynamic walking robot in their hands.

Solution

OpenCat as the Solution

Goal: to easily build and develop quadruped robot kits by greatly
lowering the cost and technical barriers 

 

Solutions: 

  * use hobbyist high-performance servos as the joints
  * arrange servos in an optimized body frame
  * use low-cost popular hardware as the controller (Arduino, ESP32
    or Raspberry Pi, etc.) to support add-on modules such as smart
    camera module, IoT sensors, and voice command modules
  * efficient and open source control codes for vivid motion tasks

Commercial Robots Powered by OpenCat

OpenCat has been deployed on Petoi's mass-produced palm-sized,
realistic lifelike robot cat Nybble and robot dog Bittle that can
run, walk, and self-balance like a real animal. We've successfully
crowdfunded these two open source robot building kits and brought
them to thousands of users from 60+ countries.

DIY Robots Based on OpenCat

Many DIY versions of OpenCat-based quadruped robots have been
developed in the worldwide community.

Dream of building your own robot pets?

Why Do We Share via Open Source?

  * to foster collaboration in the robotic motion, IoT(Internet of
    Things), and AI development of affordable quadruped robots with
    more users and developers
  * to bring STEM & robotics educational resources and curricular to
    the mass and inspire engineering and computer science students,
    adults, teens, and kids of all ages
  *  to join the robotic AI and IoT revolution to modulate the
    functionalities of a complex system

history

How OpenCat Started

People have been amazed by the versatility of Boston Dynamics Dogs
since their viral demo in 2015. In 2016, Petoi's founder & CEO
Rongzhong Li started the OpenCat project with robotic pet prototypes
in his dorm room. After one year of R&D, he founded Petoi LLC and
devoted all his resources to build and manufactured smart bionic
four-legged open source robot building kits.
