Robotics startup uses Arduino and Raspberry Pi with laser-cut plywood

Here's a video on a recent robotics startup:



It features mobility using an Arduino and optionally a Raspberry Pi using laser-cut plywood.

Looks like @Evo can have more kittens for her collection.

Saw that in the mail from Arduino. Quite intelligently built (though I have no fascination for cats). The work has taken them quite a long time to complete, I believe.

Yes, but its interestijng that you can take the idea and develop other pets real and imagined.

Here's some more on the guts of the cat:

Quite impressive !

And it won't leave freshly dead rats under the kitchen table !

No substitute for a real cat. I don't even prefer cats over dogs. Just no substitute for a genuine actual cat. Try giving catnip to that robotic thing. Not so impressive. Where's the fun?

It’s touted as a STEM resource. Kids can assemble it and program it to do tricks...

Very cool but not quite there yet in terms of actual cat replacement

Yeah, can it knock things off of a shelf for no reason?

Isn't it gruesome? It looks like a skeleton cat?

 

[Tom.G]

But will it chase a Laser pointer?

No need for litter box and no poo poo to clean
