Meta's Muse AI is becoming a robot dog. @petoicamp founder Rongzhong Li and I vibecoded it a voice first, using Meta's Muse Gadgets SDK — small screen for its animated character, Quaddle's own speaker for its voice (shoutout @HeyPuter for the free TTS service making that happen).

This one's just the conversation (cut the waiting gaps — Muse actually responds within seconds). I told @Muse I'd let it control Quaddle's body next. #Muse #Robotics #Quaddle #Petoi #PhysicalAI #RobotDog

Despite having robotic heart, #Nybble by @PetoiCamp comes with 9 lives and is just as natured as a real cat. It will push off anything from my desk and show me who's the evil overlord in this relationship It looks cute though! #net_n #robotics #RaspberryPi notenoughtech.com/raspberry-…

My first custom moves for the #bittle doing shoulder exercises. #makepetoimove #petoi #robot #stem @PetoiCamp The trick is understanding how to balance the robot when it moves

Petoi Bittle is a tiny but powerful robot that can play tricks like real animals. It is a perfect tool for learning, teaching and researching . CAIR is glad to offer the students the experience to explore and enjoy petoi robot! #cair_kcst

Backflip/frontflip ninja trick commands issued to Bittle via gesture detection. Can you reproduce this demo with your Bittle? Can you or your pet challenge Bittle on its ninja skills? #Petoi #Bittle #OpenCat #STEM #BostonDynamics #OpenSource #RobotDog

Bittle - the Robot Dog Gymnast Can you challenge Bittle on spinning on a bar? How many consecutive spins can you do? Petoi CEO Dr. Li is motivated by Bittle to practice pullovers in the video. Can Bittle be your exercise buddy? Can you make your Bittle spin, release and land?

Impressive to see how Petoi Bittle can be trained complex skills with Imitation Learning. youtu.be/jloya0TOzWA Full paper at: sim2real.github.io/assets/pa… We discuss all such interesting research at "Learn with A Robot". Subscribe for free at: learnwitharobot.com cc @PetoiCamp

Since OpenCat was released 6 years ago, it has showcased the possibilities of the high-performance palm-sized robot pets, Petoi is proud to release OpenCat 2.0 with major performance and stability improvement: ow.ly/elAG50JYFZb #Petoi #OpenCat #raspberrypi #arduino #stem

Happy 6th Anniversary of OpenCat! Save 20% off Nybble, the first commercial robot based on Robot cat. Six years ago, Petoi founder Rongzhong Li just finished the basic functionality of the OpenCat framework with a robot cat prototype. #robot #stem #cat 🎁 ow.ly/fFp250JTkcr

We love @Disney Sox in #BuzzLightyear and so does Nybble, a real #robot cat controlled by @arduino and @Raspberry_Pi. Watch how the two buddies meet and have fun! All the scenes are auto and programmed. 🎁petoi.com/store #sox #toy #real #gadget #gift #stuffed #quadruped

I unlocked Bittles’s magic moves when teaching it to jump. I think that's the charm of a real robot that you can experiment with. You will better understand the universe, not a simulated meta. #Arduino #quadruped #motiondesign #jump #BostonDynamics #gait

We know cats like to wash their paws when they feel secure. So does Nybble...until it sees you. We'd love to see more skills trained by our users! 🎁petoi.com/store #Arduino #motionplan #quadruped #robot #servo #ESP32 #opensource #STEM #kit #programming #walking #gift
