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 finacing are obstacles right in the way. By open-sourcing it, we will also face competetion from both large companies and copycats.

In the Projects tab, there are two topics regarding current project development. Your thoughts and contribution will help to define the future of this cat, improve user experience and eventually benefit the public.

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!
