The small but mighty Bittle X has these amazing features:

* Respond to voice commands, performing over **35 predefined actions** such as sit, push-up, and backflip with high-performance, lifelike movements. You can switch between English and Chinese using simple voice commands.&#x20;
* Can be programmed with **10 more customized voice commands** performing skills you create. The voice command can be any sound, so it's **free from languages**.&#x20;
* Support  **Petoi** **Coding Blocks(block-based Scratch-like), C++, and Python**.
* **Free** [C++](https://www.petoi.com/pages/free-cplusplus-quadruped-robotics-curriculum) and [Petoi Coding Blocks](https://www.petoi.com/pages/free-quadruped-robotics-curriculum-scratch-coding)(block-based Scratch-like) **curriculums**.
* Equipped with BiBoard, a high-performance **ESP32** development board supporting additional modules for robotics/AI/IoT applications.

* It's an extension of Bittle X V2.  So you can follow the instructions for Bittle X V2 pre-assembled version first to the general operation of the robot dog.  Then follow [the robotic arm guide](/7-robot-arm.md) for the gripper operation.
