What it can do
Written by Robotheca from the project's documents.
- Botzo is described as an autonomous quadruped robot meant to navigate and interact with its environment.
- The platform aims to navigate complex terrains, collect data and samples, and interact with its environment.
- Locomotion is intended to be learned via reinforcement learning, with inverse kinematics already modelled.
- A PyBullet simulation of the robot exists for development.
Works with AI
Found by Robotheca in the project's files at commit 6a35f2a, its robot.yaml and Robotheca's notes on its documents. Never guessed; Robotheca doesn't run the code.

Wiring and electronics
Notes written by Robotheca from the project's documents.
Main parts
- The documents mention circuit sketches (basic and full) but do not name specific controller boards, motors, or sensors.
- The firmware folder contains Arduino and C code, implying microcontroller boards, though the parts are not named in the text.
Connections
- Circuit sketches for the robot exist in the repository, but the written documents do not describe the connections.
