Petoi Programmable Robot Dog & Cat Comparison

Petoi programmable robot pets come in various flavors: Bittle X robot dog, Bittle STEM Kit/Robotics KitNybble robot cat, and Nybble Q robot cat.

Bittle Robot Dog Family vs Nybble Robot Cat Family

  • They all have 8 limbs.  Bittle has 9 movable joints(servos), Nybble has 11 movable joints(servos).
  • Head movement
    • Bittle's head has one servo, enabling the head to move left & right
    • Nybble's head has two servos, enabling the head to move left & right and up & down.
  • Tail movement
    • Bittle doesn't have a servo on its tailbone, so it cannot wag its tail
    • Nybble has a servo on its tailbone, so it can wag its tail
  • Nybble's head comes with a pair of ultrasonic sensors, so it has a pair of eyes to sense things.   Its head is fully sealed and cannot attach any more sensors
  • Bittle's mouth can open and clip on a sensor from Petoi Sensor Pack.
  • Skills
    • Bittle can perform backflips and frontflips.  
    • Nybble cannot backflip, front flip because it's heavier than Bittle with 2 extra servos and has a real tail.  The tail may be broken during the process.
  • They come with gyroscopes, so they can self-right after being upside down.
