Welcome to the OpenCat wiki!

OpenCat is a programmable and highly maneuverable robotic cat for STEM education and AI-enhanced services. It was based on open-sourced hardware(Arduino & RaspberryPi) and software(C & Python).

There's a long way to go from a personal artwork to a mass produced product. Not only technical challanges, but also collaboration, maintenance and financing are obstacles right in the way. By open-sourcing it, we will also face competetion from both large companies and copycats.

OpenCat is now funded by the crowdfunding campaign at igg.me/at/nybble. Nybble is the first commercial kit based on OpenCat. You can find more information at www.petoi.com including a forum.

I will find time to better organize my thoughts and put up this wiki. Check out the Table of Contents to find already available information.

There's a CatMini repo that I used to teach a robotics class. At least one reader has made the cat walk on his own.

Thanks for your patience!
