Getting Started Guide

This page gets you started with building/playing/coding with your Petoi robots

Hi, thanks for getting a Petoi robot.

If you have a construction kit, you can follow the following instructions to build it.

• Bittle

• Bittle X

  • If you have a Bittle X V2(as indicated on the package barcode label), please visit https://guide.petoi.com/

• Nybble

Note that the robot is suitable for working on smooth surfaces. When walking on a carpet, the movement may not be smooth.

After you’ve assembled a Petoi robot or have bought a pre-assembled version, the following steps are recommended:

1. Play with mobile app

   • Play with the default actions

   • Play with simple joint control

   • Add more commands to the controller panel

   • Play with group commands to make your robot perform multiple actions in sequence

2. Play with voice commands(for Bittle X or any robot with the voice command module)

   • If the robot doesn’t respond to your voice commands, please see the troubleshooting guide.

   • You can turn off the voice command functionality(for example: in a public space, or in a classroom setting requiring quiet periods) to avoid accidentally triggering voice responses and robot reactions.

3. Do some coding

   • Follow Petoi Coding Blocks curriculum to program some Petoi robotics moves

   • Visually design some new robotics skills with Petoi Skill Composer

   • Follow C++ curriculum to code some Petoi robotics moves in C++

   • For Bittle/Bittle X, you may 3D-print this stand to make your robot not run around while you program it.

4. Work on some quadruped robotics competition projects

Note that all the tutorials work on Bittle/Bittle X robot dogs and Nybble robot cat even though we use one particular robot pet as an example.
