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?

You can control the robot with the included remote control or the Petoi mobile app with 35+ built-in commands. We have the APIs through OpenCat(https://github.com/PetoiCamp/OpenCat). You can control every servo movement via coding. You can program the robot to move around and perform new skills to mimic a real dog's behaviors.
