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 the Lidar module can work well based on our source code, and NOT ensure that you get from other channels. We fixed some software problems based on our source code, and if you 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 some Lidar modules, such as 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); it can map its environment and learn in real-time from things around using Lidar or a camera sensor. 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 for potential security issues. If you want to explore camera AI functions, you can choose a standard USB camera module; of course, a 3D camera module is better for study. If you try the 3D camera module, we recommend OpenCV’s latest 3D camera module, OAK-D LITE, which comes from OpenCV&Luxonis. We will supply a user guide to let you use it easily.

MangDang, founded in 2020, specializes in the research, development, and production of robot products that make people’s lives better. We launched our first Robot Operating System (ROS) based quadruped robot (a robot with four legs), named Mini Pupper, in 2021. Mini Pupper was initially designed and developed to make it easier for robotics enthusiasts, especially students, to build their quadruped robot systems at a lower price, especially for students and educational institutions.

Shipping Policy

FAST DELIVERY! We ship worldwide via FedEx, UPS, DHL, and USPS because they’re Fast, Reliable, Affordable, and Easily Trackable. We process orders in 24 hours; delivery may take 4 to 7 days or sooner, depending on your location. Once shipped, you will receive an email with your tracking number.

Ships From: Not all our products are shipped from the USA; some are from different countries and regions like China, Taiwan, or Europe. Therefore, the amount of tariff you will pay will differ depending on which country your order will be shipped from. This is to keep tariffs as low as possible, because not all countries charge the same amount. For example, if the US imposes a tariff of 30% on goods from China, other countries will impose a much lower tariff on products shipped from China. Please check the "Ships From:" label on this product to see which country it will be shipped from.

TARIFF: The tariff will only affect customers in the country where they reside and order. Please check the "Ships From:" label on this product page to see which country we will ship this product from. While not all products require a tariff, some may require a minimal or no tariff in your country. If applicable, the buyer will pay the tariff within their respective country. The total amount of your order does not include a tariff. Please enter a reachable phone number during checkout so the Shipping Company can contact you to pay the tariff once your parcel arrives at your destination.

Why don't we add tariffs to the product's retail price? If all countries imposed the same tariff amount and used the same currency, we would have added the tariff amount to the product price. However, we do not do that because each country charges a different amount and uses a different currency, while some do not even charge a tariff. Therefore, we can't add a tariff to the product's retail pricing. Oz Robotics' manufacturing partners, or suppliers are not responsible for tariffs. Please check the "Ships From:" label on the product page to see the product's origin. The total amount for your order does not include a tariff. The customer must pay the tariff. We will not cancel your order or refund you if you do not pay the tariff. More Details.

SHIPPING COSTS: For some industrial products, e.g., heavy wheels, CNC machines, etc., the shipping cost is calculated based on the product weight, not quantity. For lower shipping costs for orders with multiple items, please email us at sales@ozrobotics.com before you buy. We show shipping rates on the product page under the SHIPPING tab.
