Great job! Awesome achievement Li! Congrats. Can't wait your next enhancement. As it is now, it's really really an incredible robot with so much valuable features like AI and pretty access to Alexia. It took you just 18 months to get it at this stage. You and your one-man team definitely are hard-workers with great talent.
Yeah he got all the publicity from the name and from a Hackster post that listed it as GPL, and was going all around the open source community talking about how open source is going to make the world a better place, then sold a million dollars worth of 2 different commercial versions instead, and never did release the source for this one. There's always OpenDog though which actually is open source and educational
I have an Aibo ers 311 and I already think he’s wonderful. Love your project and I would definitely back you should you ever kickstart this. Keep up the good work!
mainly the AI part of it I suppose, or the motor drivers... Must be a pretty sophisticated piece of code. The fact that it uses only arduino-raspberrypi couple, is simply breathtaking. almost comparable with the first 4-bit intel controller all things considered... long long ago. It's easy to understand why Li does want to keep his valuable project details in safe place. You can't start a business by spreading critical details of your project. It would be a nonsense.
Id love to see a Panther sized version of this. Something that can assist ya around the house. Love that you used the proper joints in the legs unlike "DARPA" who just do simple joints on all legs.
When I saw the title, I expected something else. I expected a robot that can rotate its boss while falling. Because that's the most incredible part of a cat for robotics. A four-legged Robot could be immitating any four legged animal. There is no need to call it a cat. But for a four legged robot you did a very good job
I admire what you’re doing. Very impressive. I shared your video with my hundreds of Twitter followers. FEATURE REQUEST: Please add a "Sentry Cat" mode when you’re not home that does face tracking then sends image of face to cloud storage for safe keeping. It could then send you an alert to your phone. I look forward to following your progress. Subscribed!
absolutely amazing. I've been trying to make a four legged raspberry pi crawler myself, its not easy!! and to see you have face tracking, avoiding obstacles, really inspiring!!
I've purchased Jibo and Cozmo. I'd definitely buy this robot once it's available. The work you've done is amazing! I would suggest having a site available online for people to express interest, or otherwise to have a Patreon, Kickstarter or Indiegogo up for this to help with funding.
Amazing and awesome job !We all know this technology is getting old and common nowadays. The servo noises is really something that we all need to address. For all the geniuses out there, do something to minimize the servo noise or better yet, eliminate the noise.
I'm kinda shocked by how well you have him moving, even the mini version, your a close second behind Boston Dynamics in my books, and I'd love to put my 3D printer to work helping me make one!
You've done fantastically so far, I'm excited to see how this project progresses, you've certainly surpassed most of the current robots I've seen available to buy, I wish you luck on the furthering development!
its because he made it biologically correct, unlike what looks like a wonky toaster on bent straws for legs, (i still don't know why none of these bigger companies have gotten the hint not to make a toaster with wonky straw elbows for legs lol)
Love the very last phrase. Hope you'll be able to start a pretty promising business selling this awesome robot. I'll be among the very first ones to buy it. Can't wait.
WOW I really like ur opencat and u have inspired me to start building my own, she will be a wolf though. My dad understands a bit and UA-cam will know some stuff. Can't wait to see more bids and updates on your opencat though, I think you should try and add a tail and maybe see if you can get it to interact with other cats you've done in past (V1 with V2?, latest versions together?!!?) Hope to hear more of you!
Very impressed! I love all your robot pets. I like to make one after I learn bit more. Maybe you can start business. Some people can not have pet in their apartment but would love these. Now I want to design custom pet like you.
Dude.. Make a kickstarter for some quick money and release this. Cause if you dont someone will manage to steal it from you and do it. This thing scaled up has huuuuuge potential, everyone wants in on the boston dynamics robots.
so writing each running mode as a seperate subrutine and then select between the subs by depend on enviroment and you have adaptive behavior. have you tried to use a ldr sensor to detect size of let say tiles? i was thinking if you had a black tile and you used a simple counter until the sensor reached a light tile by sweap then stop the counter, and then use the number in the counter to measure the width of the tile by transelating the total count to centimetres. im not sure if you could do it this way but just an idea to see how far primitive tech can get to pattern detection.
You should make a larger version of this that can be equipped with some large bags, it would be really useful to have luggage with AI that can follow you around, it could carry your books at university.
Very interested. As an AI student I work with other platforms, such as NAOs, but due to their high pricings it is not feasible to work with robots which are of interest at home. If these get sold for a reasonable price (which I assume since the system runs with a pi), I would love to buy one and experiment with it.
this is amazing, I am getting into programming and want to to get learn more about robotics and how I can build tools to build with. a prowl mode would be neat to have for the cat.
Very cool and I love the kitty. I do not have all the gear that you do to make this kitty. So, what version are you up to now and would you be willing to make one for me and if so, what would the cost be? I have 4 kitties of my own and I would just love to see how they react to a robot kitty. Thank you.
Hey petoi team, i would like to control the nibble cat with an arduino based transmitter and receiver using nrf24 transceiver and joysticks, what could should i modify in order to make it work with arduino remote?
The code is open source at github.com/PetoiCamp/opencat. The later ESP32 version also works if you swap a BiBoard for Nybble, allowing more programming space. github.com/PetoiCamp/OpenCatEsp32 The serial communication protocol is universal for our controllers, including the mobile app, mind+, and Python API. After connecting the nrf24 module, you can wire your module to UART or SPI with some modifications in the code. The explanation is in docs.petoi.com/applications/skill-creation

Amazing! Seems like a one-man Boston Dynamics robot! 😮🤭
Absolutely!
this cat is super old tech...
So what? the AI part too? you are able to figure it out just by watching the video? C'mon! it stinks jealousy...
i thought exactly same
@@petoicamp bro u did a great work.haters gonna hate.keeping doing.have you used arduino with raspberry??
Oh wow, that looks so good, awesome job!
Great job! Awesome achievement Li! Congrats. Can't wait your next enhancement. As it is now, it's really really an incredible robot with so much valuable features like AI and pretty access to Alexia.

at first i thought "opencat" was an open source project ... looks nice tho

I love the project . I was thinking of it as a companion / communication device for elderly or handicapped people
And look at you now! This is amazing!!
An adventure.
send a resume to Boston dynamics
Amzing job, But this may not reach the Boston Dyniamics level I gues
Honestly, this robot cats motion is smoother than others ones I've seen that cost $1000+. Very impressive. Thanks for sharing it with us 🙂
I'm really excited to see where this project goes! I will definitely be making my own OpenCat once this project has more documentation.
haha
I have an Aibo ers 311 and I already think he’s wonderful. Love your project and I would definitely back you should you ever kickstart this. Keep up the good work!
The most incredible thing is that the cat sat when he told it to.
I can't wait to see the source code!

lol ;) i doubt this happen any time soon seeing the hackster.io page
is there kibble involved?
Id love to see a Panther sized version of this. Something that can assist ya around the house. Love that you used the proper joints in the legs unlike "DARPA" who just do simple joints on all legs.
Very , very good job. My icon shows how I love cats, and I think that you too !!!
wow your house is a wonderland. all kinds of creatures going around :D hahahah. Great job on kitty

I've been working on something like this for years as a side project, this is so inspiring to see!
Amazing！ 太赞啦！Congratulations！应该已经可以在kickstarter上众筹发布啦！
absolutely amazing. I've been trying to make a four legged raspberry pi crawler myself, its not easy!! and to see you have face tracking, avoiding obstacles, really inspiring!!
wow, thats amazing! It feels like with proper nvestments you can shove off boston dynamics!
Thank you for the silicon valley garage joke
May you stay safe and stay blessed! More blessings to come for you :)
Good work. Makes you realize how amazing the real thing is.
0:45 I want that Kitty, it's so awesome 😍 Congratulations for your achievement, folk
I've seen advertisements for cloning.....they would never BE your pet...this is a good, good idea!
I've purchased Jibo and Cozmo. I'd definitely buy this robot once it's available. The work you've done is amazing! I would suggest having a site available online for people to express interest, or otherwise to have a Patreon, Kickstarter or Indiegogo up for this to help with funding.
Great to hear! I've added your Twitter and subscribed to your site.
Quite amazing work! Looking forward to see more of the subsequent generations...
You're a genius, I've never seen a robot looking like a real cat like yours. you should sell it, I would pay to have it
inmagine how great it would look with flexible spine
Amazing and awesome job !We all know this technology is getting old and common nowadays. The servo noises is really something that we all need to address. For all the geniuses out there, do something to minimize the servo noise or better yet, eliminate the noise.
have you seen the new flexing movement on some of the latest robotics.. smooth ... and silent..
No. Please send me the link. That's awesome. Thanks
Very impressive. Can't wait to get the kit.
Really great project. Perhaps a tail to assist in turning and fall recovery as well as a more lifelike appearance. Good work!
Amazing!! 👍
but a cat needs a tail.
actually might be interesting to integrate a tail for balance and mobility.
That is awesome, why have I not seen your videos before.im looking forward to watching more of your stuff
Have you installed a catnip sensor on it?
With a set of plasma-shooting cat claws, this OpenCat can become your dirty little private WW3.
Wow!!! Amazing project!! Props to you for creativity!!
great things starts from humble begginings!
Amazing! I hope this grows into something very big for you. Good luck!
NO, not just great work. It's an AWESOME work! wow.
Thanks, I'll be checking out your other videos too! 👏🏻 👍🏼 💜
Imagine what can be done with silicon “muscles”. You could input the walking cycle of a cat into it.
That is amazing, I love that your real cat gets into it too!
Reminds of the scene in Blade Runner where JF shows the replicants he built
I'm kinda shocked by how well you have him moving, even the mini version, your a close second behind Boston Dynamics in my books, and I'd love to put my 3D printer to work helping me make one!

Surprised he didn't give it a tail, since that's what helps cats balance so well.
Nice done! All it needs to learn now is how to use aliexpress, 3d printer and rng to make a slightly different cat than itself.
This looks amazing! Are you going to post the STL files and parts list so we can try it at home?
That sounds perfectly reasonable. Let us know if you need beta testers!
Love the very last phrase. Hope you'll be able to start a pretty promising business selling this awesome robot. I'll be among the very first ones to buy it. Can't wait.
I made some 3D files (Sketchup and .dae):
ua-cam.com/video/0lk9Wb022H8/v-deo.html
Love it, cannot wait to build one.
All you have to do is make your cat robot into some sort of meme, or get the media to talk and then make a new video kickstarter page.
That's amazing I would love to see my cat Arnie's reaction well done you are very clever!
Qualified to be my mentor.
WOW I really like ur opencat and u have inspired me to start building my own, she will be a wolf though. My dad understands a bit and UA-cam will know some stuff.

Oh man I want one, so so good!
Very impressed! I love all your robot pets. I like to make one after I learn bit more. Maybe you can start business. Some people can not have pet in their apartment but would love these. Now I want to design custom pet like you.
I knew someone would do this sooner or later.
That is awesome. Nice work!
Great job, go to kickstarter... Waiting for news
es muy impresionante, Felicidades ojala y puedas continuar con este gran proyecto !!!
Nice implementation!
1:42 You've heard about the Keyboard Cat before... Now presenting, the Cat Keyboard!
Absolutely incredible! Amazing work. You make a lot of highly paid people in the industry look like total idiots. Keep it up.
Dude.. Make a kickstarter for some quick money and release this.
Cause if you dont someone will manage to steal it from you and do it.
This thing scaled up has huuuuuge potential, everyone wants in on the boston dynamics robots.
Well done! Congrats!

Hi do you want sell your ultimate version? Please let me know thanks have a good day
You could put some plush fleece fabric on the body for catlike appearance and feel. It might increase the creepiness value though.
Very nice, you might also add some rubber on the paws to increase traction.
This blows away my mind. Great work!
How can I get one or at least a DIY tutorial?
Good job. Love the robot and can't wait to see more. :)
Was for a great project. Respect!
Amazing work, I hope to buy one for Christmas from your go fund me.
Impressive work!
keep on going guys! were you located?
This reminds me of drones with the gyro and servos, though a Cortex M4 running at 200MHz won't do the voice command and face tracking.
Please make tutorial with programing. Thanks. I want it use in school
AAAH IT LOOKS ADORABLE!!!!
Can it overturn vases and push jars off the table?
Carnegie Mellon prof? See you're in Pittsburgh.
Any plans for spine articulation down the road?
You should make a larger version of this that can be equipped with some large bags, it would be really useful to have luggage with AI that can follow you around, it could carry your books at university.
i love how the first thing comes to our mind is making slaves
Can’t wait until 4/2019
that's really impressive! How many years did it take? Just you working on it?
This is simply amazing! Is there somewhere i can donate? I would love to support your work!
Very interested. As an AI student I work with other platforms, such as NAOs, but due to their high pricings it is not feasible to work with robots which are of interest at home.
If these get sold for a reasonable price (which I assume since the system runs with a pi), I would love to buy one and experiment with it.

I just subscribed. Where can I get open cat one ? Please. Thank you.

Very cool. You should change the name to ClosedCat i guess since it is closed source. Still like it a lot and congrats on the progress.
3d guy247
looks like sauce will be up soon
github.com/PetoiCamp/OpenCat
where is the tail?
WOW!!! This is truly amazing!!!
Awesome.. can you make them "pounce" like a cat/fox can? Not yet seen any robot that can do that...
Wow i am very impressed!
Nice work!
Great work!
Very impressive ! In which University are you developping your project ?
