Quaddle is an open-source desktop robot dog from Petoi, the team that shipped 30,000+ robots and runs the most-starred quadruped platform on GitHub. It walks, reacts and is programmable in C++, Python and block coding, with a leg design that keeps the price at ~$154 instead of four-figure robots. It funded at $112k from 224 backers and is sold on petoi.com. For STEM families and tinkerers it is a real robot without the real-robot price; skip it if you want a plush toy, not a project.
