There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
There is a built-in gyro (which can be disabled), which triggers a recovery motion if Bittle is upside down. There is add-on hardware, my favorite of which is the Mu Vision Sensor camera. The camera can be set to stream video, so you see what it sees. Bittle itself can also be setup for WiFi, so that you can control him with anything that can run a web browser. It can use Bluetooth and USB out of the box.
But the real fun starts when writing code for it. The open-source software means that you can rewrite any part of the code you want. There are libraries online for further enhancements. You can add "instincts" or edit already written "instincts," which are new positions or motions, like walk, trot, run (forward, backward, and left, right), sit, pee, pushups, look around, etc. It's fairly easy to add instincts, although designing them can take thought and experimentation - especially the gaits (as opposed to behaviors and postures).
That's not to say that you will be programming Bittle to climb steps on the first day (unless you're far more experienced than I). Plenty of patience and research is required in order to do anything fancy. There is significant online documentation, but you need to put the instruction pieces together and understand how it all works. You can code in Python, C++, and some visual language that I have yet to try (but might be great for beginner programmers). I'm using the recommended Arduino IDE (free for Windows, macOS and Linux), which seems to have a large following, along with the availability of more open-source software. As the headline states, the possibilities are endless with this ingenious robot - all depending on how much effort you want to expend in research and/or your own programming. Unlike toys with built-in actions and nothing else, your imagination is the limiting factor.
Cons: My Bittle's head doesn't have a great physical connection, so it can get disconnected when he falls over. I have been leaving the head off when experimenting. The optional camera is an odd physical setup, mounted in Bittle's mouth. I may try to come up with a different design with a 3d printer, but that could be a project on its own. I have yet to figure out how to connect a Raspberry Pi (not a lot of documentation), but hope to be able to do that at some point. I'm guessing that it will require a bit of soldering. I would like to be able to purchase each Bittle part separately (the plastic body parts, motors, springs, screws, main board, add-on cards, battery, etc.). The online documentation is extensive, although there are portions that are unclear to me or not 100% comprehensive/complete. Maybe it's just my USB cables, but I am concerned that plugging/unplugging the battery charger will wear out the cable that is placed so close to the charging port. Also, USB-C might be better than Micro USB these days.
Overall, Bittle is a blast. If you like tinkering, coding, and learning, you won't be disappointed or bored. But even if you don't wish to become a programmer, it is fun to play with right out of the box.
She immediately dive into the coding part of the fun, software came with the product was easy to use, With builtin bluetooth and USB modules, and a remote, you can unlock all kinds of possibility, which opens unlimited potential. you can rewrite any part of the code you want because it's open source, it's small yet strong.
I highly recommend the Petoi Bittle robot dog kit to anyone interested in learning robotics or engineering.

I am an experienced developer. But I've had fun programming Bittle because quadruped programming is quite different from other forms of programming as I need to control legs simultaneously to move Bittle around and maintain its balance at the same time.
Overall, it's a great educational robot kit for teenagers and adults.

The assembly instructions are online. The table of contents looks like it would be step by step, but you need to jump between sections to keep the assembly on track. I eventually figured it all out. Assembly time is 2-3 hours. There are a Wi-fi, Bluetooth, and USB plug in modules for the main circuit board. YOU WILL NEED TO USE ONE OF THESE TO CALIBRATE THE ROBOT, even though the instructions do not indicate this.
There is a Codecraft App that you can download to your PC or MAC. This app allows you to program different capabilities for your robot. Tech nerds will spend many a sleepless night playing with this.
All in all, I am glad I made this purchase. I find it very entertaining to use and challenging to program. I believe it would be a good addition to a robotics program for STEM.

The dog is meticulously well-designed. You can notice a lot of details that turn out to make a lot of sense. The shock absorption mechanism in the limbs, the placement of the battery pack for the center of mass, the location of the infrared receiver (at the tail), etc … You can see the inventor's intense love for life through these details.
The dog can do many tricks right after installation (some of which even hilarious). It is really rewarding watching it behave like a real cute puppy. I attached a video showing it flipping itself back up when I turned it upside down. It even made a little "unhappy" noise before doing so!
Last but not least, the fully assembled version is only $10 higher. If you do not wish to go through the hardware assembly, simply get the fully assembled version, and start programming your own moves!
Much appreciated.
The USB module is faulty and will not accept upload of sketch from Arduino IDE. Hardware is faulty and need urgent replacement please.
