Product Description
Mini Pupper & MangDang An open-source robotics platform supporting ROS1 & ROS2 (Humble) and OpenCV.
Mini Pupper: Open-source, ROS & OpenCV Compatible
MangDang Mini Pupper is an upgraded version of Stanford Pupper.
It is independently developed by MangDang with strong support from Nathan of Stanford University.
It is a compact quadruped robot capable of running, jumping and roaming.
Its user-friendly design enables K12 and senior robotics enthusiasts to build a fun, movable quadruped robot by DIY.
After its launch on Kickstarter (the world’s largest crowdfunding platform) and Makuake (Japan’s leading crowdfunding platform), it was featured by dozens of renowned international media and TV stations, and has won widespread praise from customers.
We have been invited to host workshops at many global exhibitions, including Amazon’s re:MARS and re:Invent in Las Vegas (USA), ROSCon hosted by ROS in Japan, and Ubuntu Summit held in Europe. It is highly recognized by users worldwide.
MangDang’s mission is to bring robots into ordinary households across the globe and make life better for everyone!
