An open-source DIY walking robot kit designed for interactive robotics learning, Arduino programming, and STEM education. Modeled after the popular Otto DIY platform, this compact humanoid robot can walk, dance, tilt, and intelligently avoid obstacles using its ultrasonic "eyes," making it a highly engaging hands-on project for kids, students, and coding beginners.
