OpenCat: Open Source Framework for Arduino Quadruped Robots
thisguyknowsai · x · 2026-08-17
OpenCat is an open source framework enabling Arduino-based quadruped robots to execute Boston Dynamics-style gaits, balance, and backflips. It handles gait coordination, IMU fusion, and skill library extensions. Users can deploy RL policies trained in NVIDIA Isaac Sim, run SLAM via ROS, or integrate ChatGPT for voice control.
