Leo the Pet Cat (Project)
My fascination with robotics began at the age of four, when my father read to me from a newspaper about the release of Sony’s companion robot, Aibo, in 2000. Ever since, I have dreamt of building my own pet robot.
The iconic Aibo robots were always far beyond my budget, so I decided to create my own affordable alternative—”Leo: the Pet Cat,” a robot that can be built at home on a low budget. I was inspired by the projects “KITtyBot” and “OpenCat” and combined these two projects with some spice of my own.
