OpenCat
An open-source quadruped robot software framework developed by Petoi. It provides gait algorithms, motion control, and programming interfaces for low-cost quadruped robots, with support for various sensors and computing platform extensions.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Quaddle's firmware is based on the OpenCat framework and will be open-sourced, and its URDF model has been published on HuggingFace.
RZ Li is the founder of Petoi and the author of the OpenCat open-source quadruped framework, and shared Quaddle on Reddit.
OpenCat has been in development since 2016.
The creator of OpenCat is RZ Li.
The project is a pose-based teleoperation system that captures human body pose in real time via an ordinary webcam and maps it onto the joints of a quadruped robot.
The system's pose tracking pipeline runs in the browser and requires no dedicated hardware, motion capture suits, or expensive sensors.
The system maps human body movements onto two quadruped robots, Quaddle Scout and Buddy, both based on the OpenCat open-source framework.
No autonomous strategy is running in the demonstration; the robots are purely real-time mirrors of human body movements, not the result of their own decision-making through reinforcement learning.
