The Petoi family of programmable robot dogs has a new member: an ESP32 board powered 'Bittle X', which has the new feature of also being voice-controlled. They're talking a palm-sized, opensource programmable robot dog, designed for STEM and robotics education. In terms of voice commands, there are apparently 35 predefined actions, such as sit, play dead and backflip. The robots, which are built on an OpenCat framework for quadrupeds, feature an Arduino-compatible motion controller. There's wireless connectivity, programmable gaits and behaviors and, apparently, "shock reduction joints". The company writes: "Bittle X is the first robot powered by Petoi's latest quadruped robot controller BiBoard, a customized ESP32 board with larger programming space and faster CPU resulting in better performance."
