Package Recommendation: Research Kit: For Hacker and Beyond, it does not include a Pi, controller, or SD card compared to the complete kit.

Complete Kit: For Hacker and Beyond includes all the parts and materials to build and program.

Legs Pre-Assembled Kit: For K-12 and Beginners, Pre-assembled legs for quick and easy assembly and evaluation.

Pre-assembled Kit:
For K-12 and Beginners, everything you need to run and program your Mini Pupper Robot right out of the box. Â All software is installed, and calibration has been completed.
Add-Ons
Lidar module: If you want to explore ROS SLAM, Navigation functions based on Lidar, you also need a Lidar module. We can only ensure that the Lidar module works well based on our source code, and cannot guarantee that you obtain it from other channels. We have fixed some software issues based on our source code, and if you would like, we can also share our ROS2 driver for this Lidar. We will supply a user guide to let you use it easily. We tested several Lidar modules, including the PRLidar A1, YDLidar X2L, and LD06. For Mini Pupper, we refer to LD06 as it is smaller.

SLAM-MiniPupper supports SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping), enabling it to map its environment and learn in real-time from its surroundings using a Lidar sensor or a camera. Navigation-With the map, Mini Pupper can answer “where am I? Where am I going?” You can call it self-driving technology.

Camera module: The camera module is not included in our default package due to potential security issues. If you want to explore camera AI functions, you can choose a standard USB camera module; however, a 3D camera module is better suited for study. If you try the 3D camera module, we recommend OpenCV’s latest 3D camera module, the OAK-D LITE, which is developed by OpenCV and Luxonis. We will supply a user guide to let you use it easily.
