About Petoi

Petoi is an Austin, Texas-based maker of programmable robotic pets and developer of OpenCat, the open-source quadruped robot platform with over 2,500 stars on GitHub. The company produces affordable, educational robot kits designed for STEM education, robotics research, and hobbyist projects. Flagship products include Bittle, a palm-sized robot dog with 9 degrees of freedom (2 joints per leg plus neck) that can be assembled in 60 minutes and programmed via block-based coding, Python, or C++. Bittle X adds ESP32 processing with voice control featuring 35+ commands and support for 10 custom commands. Nybble is their programmable robot cat with feline-like features. All products support Arduino and ROS integration, making them suitable for K12 schools, colleges, robotics camps, and research labs. Petoi emphasizes accessibility with free coding curriculums for ages 10+. Robotics and AI labs use Petoi legged robots for research and education, describing them as "fun, affordable, agile, easy-to-run experiments." The OpenCat platform enables users to develop custom behaviors, gaits, and AI applications on real quadruped hardware at a fraction of the cost of industrial platforms like Spot or ANYmal.
