I was looking at https://www.unitree.com/go2/ recently, which seems rather good value I thought. Some of the videos look really impressive, such as the back flips, climbing stairs and the lidar
They do look impressive but the videos are all 3D graphics rather than real. The texture on the robot body and shadows are the giveaway.

Also CGI?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's a programmable robot dog that you can program in C++/Python/block-based coding. You can check the application links on the side bar menu at https://docs.petoi.com/
Ok thanks but what exactly can it do? Can it respond to commands and move accordingly? I am just a little confused how there isn't much immediate information about the capabilities of the robot, other than it's programmable. Programmable how? What's the trigger of the programming? What are some use cases?
The overview page has more information: https://www.petoi.com/pages/bittle-open-source-bionic-robot-...
They have a repository on GH with some of their projects code. The OpenCat page also contains information on how to calibrate the servos using a serial monitor, so that one isn't dependent on their phone app. Good! https://github.com/PetoiCamp Now, what about an updated meow/purr version for us cat lovers?:)
I got one of these when I backed them on Kickstarter. It was a fun build and works well. I gave it to one of my neighbors' kids since I didn't really see myself using it all that much, and he enjoys it.
How old do you think kids have to be to engage with this? Considering buying one for my grandson who is pretty into legos/tech/etc. but is only 7
He can also code some simple commands to move servos just with the mobile app: https://docs.petoi.com/mobile-app/controller#customized-comm...
He can even make a Petoi robot sing some melodies: https://docs.petoi.com/applications/melody-creation
