The High-Grade Otto Robot is an advanced, enhanced, and feature-rich version of the original Otto DIY robot.

It keeps Otto’s iconic cute shape but adds high-performance hardware, extra degrees of freedom, smart sensors, AI capabilities, and premium mechanical design, making it suitable for research, competitions, advanced STEM learning, and engineering projects.

It is essentially the "PRO" version of Otto.

Major Upgrades Compared to Classic Otto

1. Additional DOF (Degrees of Freedom)

Classic Otto has 4 servos, but High-Grade Otto includes:

1. 2 Leg Servos (Hip Left & Right)
2. 2 Foot Servos (Ankle Left & Right)
3. 2 Arm Servos (optional)
4. 1 Head Pan Servo (optional)

Total DOF: 4 → 7 / 8 DOF

This enables:

1. Smoother walking
2. Arm movements
3. Head turning
4. Dance animations
5. More human-like actions

2. Powerful Intelligent Controller

High-Grade Otto supports:

1. Arduino Nano / Mega
2. ESP32 (Wi-Fi + Bluetooth) → advanced version
3. PCA9685 servo driver for precise motion
4. MPU6050 IMU for balancing

You can add:

1. Camera (ESP32-CAM)
2. AI Vision
3. Voice Recognition
4. IoT control

3. Advanced Sensors

High-Grade version includes:

1. Ultrasonic sensor (eyes)
2. IR sensor for line detection
3. IMU gyro sensor
4. Light sensors
5. Touch buttons
6. Optional microphone

4. High-Strength Mechanical Body

Upgraded structural design:

1. Reinforced 3D-printed joints
2. Ball-bearing supported leg shafts
3. Carbon/metal rods for stability
4. Heavy-duty servo mounting
5. Modular body shell with ventilation

Printed using:

1. PLA+, PETG, or ABS for strength

5. Multi-Mode Movement

Because of added DOF + IMU, High-Grade Otto can:

1. Walk smoothly
2. Turn with stability
3. Dance with fluid motion
4. Bend, bow, sit, raise hands
5. Do animation sequences
6. Stay balanced on uneven surfaces

6. Smart Control Modes

1. Bluetooth mobile app
2. Wi-Fi (ESP32 web interface)
3. Gesture controlled (MPU glove)
4. Voice commands
5. Object detection (camera)
6. Autonomous mode using sensors

7. Better Power System

1. Li-ion 18650 pack
2. 5V–6V BEC for servo power
3. Longer runtime compared to classic Otto
