Petoi robots are not toys. But you can consider them as coding toys for igniting interests in STEM and learning robotics coding.

Petoi robots are best suited for 10+ years old elementary students, middle school to university-level students, adults and even seniors, depending on how deeply you want to explore robotics and programming. With beginner-friendly tools and advanced capabilities, they scale well across age groups.

Petoi robots are designed for anyone with an interest in STEM, robotics, AI, computer science, engineering, mechanic, mechatronics, and physical computing.

• Grandparents/parents encouraging their grandkids/kids to start with STEM, robotics, and AI
• K12/college/training school students
• Students and professors interested in AI & robotics
• Developers, engineers, robotics, and maker enthusiasts interested in creating their own robotics projects and applications.
• STEM, robotics, and AI educators.  Please check the educator purchase guide and FAQ for more information.

Lite servos are perfectly fine for robotics coding learning and every day projects. Alloy servos are designed for projects with high usage and high performance demands, mainly for advanced robotics application development and research.

Absolutely. Beginners can start with the mobile app or graphical programming tools like Petoi Coding Blocks and Petoi Skill Composer, while more advanced students can use C++ with Arduino IDE and Python.

Users can develop skills in robotics, engineering design, coding (block-based and text-based), problem-solving, teamwork, and creativity. Advanced users can explore AI, computer vision, and algorithms.

The latest models, Bittle X and Nybble Q, all support voice commands. The older models don’t support voice commands. They could have had the voice command support with the Petoi voice command module, but the module has been disountinued and out of stock.

Please check

Bittle/Bittle X supports a sensor pack that includes sound sensor, light sensor, touch sensor, PIR motion sensor, distance sensor, and gesture sensor and the AI vision module. You can connect other common Arduino modules using the 2.54mm connectors. Although Nybble/Nybble Q robot cat uses the same boards Bittle/Bittle X use, there’s no easy way to mount the modules unless you design and 3D-print some new structures.

Please visit Petoi Documentation Center.

Please check Petoi open source quadruped robot comparison.

Our robots are more expensive than other forms of robots(such as wheeled robots) because Bittle/Bittle X has 9 high-performance servos and Nybble/Nybble Q has 11 high-performance servos. In compaison, a 4-wheeled robot has two or four basic servos that don't support or need precise positioning. The development of complex kinematics and control of a lifelike quadruped is also much more complex.

The average American spends $1,100/year($3/day) on coffee according to Acorns study, and over $3,500/year($9.6/day) on dining out according to Bureau of Labor Statistics. Now imagine redirecting just a fraction of that into something purposeful: A robot that introduces coding, inspires creativity, and ignites a lifelong passion for STEM and robotics — for you, your child or your students. If you code with a $300 to $450 Petoi coding robot for two years, the monthly cost is just $12.5 to $18.75. This is your opportunity to have hands-on robotics fun, learning and build real-world tech confidence.

Petoi robots work with Windows, macOS, and Linux computers. Modern laptops from the past 5 years generally meet the system requirements.

Minimum requirements: Windows 10+, macOS 10.14+, or recent Linux builds. At least 4GB RAM is recommended.

Currently, full functionality on Chromebooks is limited as it requires admin access to install programming applications. We are working on a web-based block coding solution that will work on Chromebooks as well.

Internet access is only required for downloading software, firmware updates, or accessing online resources. Offline programming is supported.

Petoi Desktop App, Petoi Coding Blocks for block-based coding, Arduiuno IDE for C++ are the main tools. No specific software needed for Python programming.

Yes. Petoi's mobile app supports iOS and Android for basic movement control and calibration.

Bittle assembly takes 1 hour, and Nybble assembly takes 3+ hours, depending on experience. Pre-assembled robots are available for quicker setup.

We recommend 1-3 users per robot for hands-on learning, though 1:1 is ideal for more independent learning environments.

For robots built with injection-molded parts(such as Bittle/Bittle X), you can re-assemble it again. Be mind of keeping tracking all the screws. For robots built with wooden parts such as Nybble, we don’t recommend taking it apart because the wooden part can be fragile.

Basic maintenance includes checking screws, calibrating joints, and recharging batteries. Monthly maintenance is usually sufficient.

Petoi robots are designed to be robust with replaceable parts. They can withstand regular use with proper handling.

Yes. Students can work in pairs or groups to plan, code, and test programs collaboratively.

Petoi offers block-based coding and C++ curriculums for introduction to robotics. We have more intermediate and advanced curriculums in planning.

Yes. The beginner block-based curriculum introduces core robotics concepts and block-based coding, with guided projects.

Yes. Webinars and onboarding sessions are available.

Definitely. The modular content allows you to integrate Petoi into various subjects including physics, math modeling, computer science, and art.

You can contact us to request a quote.

We provide email, chat, and remote video conference support.

Yes. Petoi robots come with a one-year limited warranty. Replacement parts and repair guidance are also available.

Start with our Doc Center or community forum. If you need further assistance, reach out to our support team @ support at petoi.com.

Yes. Developers can access Petoi’s open-source libraries and API documentation for deeper control via https://github.com/PetoiCamp/OpenCat/.

Advanced modules such as the AI vision module can be added, additional processing power can be acquired with Raspberry Pi for running AI models and more advanced modules.

Yes. Petoi provides STL files for selective parts and encourages hardware customization and creative modifications.  You can also modify the open source firmware OpenCat to suit your needs.
