Alexis and Florian, students specializing in Computer Science and Communication Networks at CPE Lyon — a prestigious French engineering school — developed Finobot, an intelligent robot dog built with Raspberry Pi, ROS2, and Python, using Bittle X running on OpenCat open source quadruped platform. Their creation can recognize voice commands and autonomously follow a person around a room.
Thanks for sharing. The price is high but the product looks good.
Thank you for your feedback and the price consideration.
This project combines a Bittle X quadruped robot with a Raspberry Pi, ROS2, computer vision, and voice command capabilities—essentially bringing together hardware and open-source software that enables autonomous human following and voice interaction
Many commercial robot dogs with similar capabilities, such as lifelike movement, programmable behaviors, and AI integration, are often priced much higher, sometimes costing thousands of dollars. In contrast, Bittle X and projects like Finobot are designed to be accessible for students, educators, and hobbyists who want to learn about robotics, coding, and AI in a hands-on way
Plus, since it’s open-source, users can modify and extend it, adding even more value for education and development.
