This open-source cat-shaped robot is nothing short of awesome. OpenCat is highly maneuverable; it can pose, crawl, balance, recover from falls, and detect obstacles. It can even stream videos and detect faces. You can also integrate Amazon’s Alexa personal assistant. The programmable and highly maneuverable robotic cat is a great project. An Arduino takes responsibility for controlling detailed limb movements, while the Raspberry Pi 4 works as the cat’s brain.
To design a programmable and highly maneuverable robotic cat.
1. It should be able to walk and move around.
2. It should be able to recover from falls.
3. It should be able to detect and avoid obstacles.
4. You can also integrate Amazon’s Alexa personal assistant.
5. It should be sturdy
