Board
Bittle is powered by NyBoard V1, a customized Arduino microcontroller with an Uno chip. It supports balancing and detecting body status (orientation and acceleration), infrared, serial communication and Raspberry Pi
-
Servos
- a controllable angle of 270 degrees
- eight servos to actuate Bittle's walking joins, another one for head panning.
-
Puzzle-like Body Frame
- interlocking frame as a 3D puzzle with very few screws involved
- on average, it takes about one hour to build a Bittle robot dog

Testimonials and Reviews
I own multiple Petoi robots because they're fast, durable, and programmable. My boyfriend got one too! Using Petoi Skill Composer, I create fun new tricks easily. Highly recommend Petoi robots!
High school students loved to program Bittle because Bittle is in a dog form. Natively, students knew about dog movement and liked to emulate those movements on Bittle. They also found it easy to use the Skill Composer to create new robotics skills.
Our Robotics & AI Lab is using Petoi legged robots for robotics research and kid robotics camps. They are fun, affordable, agile, easy-to-run experiments. We tried bigger quadruped robots, but they were so clumsy to control and required a big area to run in.
Since I started the research project (autonomous swarm robot project) with Bittle, I have learned many skills, such as python socket communication, Linux command line, GIT, OpenCV, YOLO, Raspberry Pi, and ROS2.
From her dad: Bittle and Nybble are our pets and the most impressive robots we have. It is really cool that Bittle can recognize voice commands and do such cool tricks as a backflip. OpenCat is probably the most interesting open source robotic platform.
Bittle is a great teammate helping me learn (not only) the basics, discover more of the possibilities of coding, and during that also gain new experience and have some fun!
An amazing piece of engineering: like a miniature Boston Dynamics robot. Works as advertised: programmable, and extensible. Great way to learn the basics of robotics control, and programming too.
