There’s even a fan-made app that allows you to remotely control your pet dog, but it isn’t quite as freeing as Bittle’s ability to run Arduino IDE, Python, Codecraft, or other languages. The Bittle runs on an open-source network that you can use to program it and teach it new tricks. An infrared sensor helps with obstacle detection, and the incredibly nimble and flexible limbs help Bittle even get up if it collapses over. Once assembled, the Bittle’s Arduino hear powers its movements, allowing it to walk, jog, jump, and climb up obstacles with ease. The robot comes with a plastic body that doesn’t take long to assemble, and features a modular body, which means you can either build the Bittle without a head or tail (sort of like Boston Dynamics’ Spot), or add them on for good measure and make your toy look more playful and less creepy. You can either look at Bittle as a STEM project for your child, or a really interesting toy for adults to play and tinker with. Modeled on the design of the popular Boston Dynamics robot dog, Spot, the Bittle features a similar design + color scheme, and crushes the notion that an old dog can’t learn new tricks because Bittle runs entirely on Arduino, and can be quite literally programmed to do all sorts of things! Meet the Bittle, if it looks vaguely familiar, it’s because it most certainly is.
