The Mini Pupper Open Source ROS Robot Dog Kit w/ Pre Assembled Legs will be hosting a workshop at the Amazon MARS event in 2022. Additionally, Mini Pupper will be present at ROSCon 2022 in Kyoto, Japan from October 19th to 21st. It has been endorsed by ROS (Robot Operating System), Raspberry Pi, and other media outlets. It also supports OpenCVs official 3D camera module, enabling users to create various interesting projects.
The robot dog is equipped with a Lidar and camera sensor which allows it to map its environment and learn in real time from things around it. This allows the robot to answer questions such as Where am I? and Where am I going? It can be considered a form of self driving technology.
Mini Pupper is not limited to just hopping, trotting, and running around. It is also equipped with all the necessary components to achieve a mission. Underneath the hood, the robot is based on Raspberry Pi, making it highly expandable.
The creators of Mini Pupper are encouraging hackers, makers, and students to take it and create the coolest projects. It is capable of doing activities such as Jump Rope and Push Ups, and users can even customize it according to their own needs.
The servo motor is a crucial part of the robot. The creators have designed their own high torque servos to make it fast and stable. They have chosen the best option to ensure that the robot is approachable and has personality.
Mini Pupper has been designed for everyone looking for an open source, ROS, OpenCV robot dog platform.
