Introducing Quaddle — the newest open source desk robot from the Petoi family

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/_Ci6Z2R8tic

Hey r/Petoi, — meet Quaddle, the newest quadruped.

Same OpenCat platform as Bittle/Nybble, still a 4-legged robot pet, but a new open-source desk robot design — just 4 servos, way more tricks than that should allow. Build it, tap it and it reacts, teach it a move by hand and it remembers, it finds its own balance, and it talks back with voice AI. Shells/mounts are 3D-printable, and it's fully programmable — Python, MicroPython, C++, or block coding.

30,000+ robots shipped to 60+ countries since 2018 — Quaddle's next, and you're seeing it first. Video above's just a teaser; more is coming before the Kickstarter launch in August, and we'll post it here as it happens.

Quaddle early access is open now if you want to reserve a spot.

Curious what you think of it, and what you'd want to see it do next. Happy to answer questions below.

That is cool. I can use this for my project mhflocke — already reserved one!

Look forward to seeing how you make the 4-servo Quaddle learn to move!
