10 years ago, I built that 14-DoF (degrees of freedom) OpenCat prototype in my university dorm room. Since the Nybble campaign in 2018, we've shipped more than 30, 000 quadrupeds.
I want to walk through:
- What the difference really is between a demo and a delivered product
- How those units are actually used, and what they did to our support desk
- A simple formula I ended up deriving, plotting a product's feasibility against its active DoF
How that formula turned into a robot with only 4 servos
