Question 1

Which sensors and modules can be added to the robots?

Accepted Answer

The robot dogs support add-on modules such as sound, light and touch sensors, an AI vision camera module, a voice command module and a robotic arm gripper extension. Common modules connect through standard 2.54 mm headers on the controller board.

Question 2

What connection methods do the robots support?

Accepted Answer

The robots support wired serial connection through a USB programmer as well as wireless control over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

Question 3

Do the robots support voice commands?

Accepted Answer

Bittle X has built-in voice command support. Other models can be programmed for voice recognition when equipped with a sound or voice command module.

Question 4

Which single board computers are supported?

Accepted Answer

The quadruped robots communicate with Raspberry Pi, NVIDIA Jetson Nano and micro:bit through wired or wireless connections. Compact Raspberry Pi models such as the Pi 3A+ and Pi Zero can be mounted directly and communicate via serial UART with open-source Python modules. Jetson Nano is recommended for wireless connection only because of its size.

Question 5

Which programming languages suit different age groups?

Accepted Answer

Block-based coding suits primary and middle school learners, while C++ and Python are used in high school, university courses and research projects. Free curricula are available for both block-based coding and C++.

Question 6

How can schools and distributors place volume orders?

Accepted Answer

Schools, universities and distributors can review the Educator Purchase Guide and email info@petoibittle.com with quantities, destination country and project requirements to receive a tailored proposal.
