## What it is
Mini Pupper is an open-source ROS-based quadruped robot dog kit built around Raspberry Pi, with software for SLAM, navigation, and OpenCV-based vision. The repository contains the robot's Python software stack, installation scripts, and documentation for assembly and operation.

## Use cases
- build a low-cost ROS robot dog
- run SLAM and navigation on a quadruped robot
- teach robotics with a DIY robot kit
- do computer vision with an OAK-D-Lite camera on a robot
- hack and customize a legged robot platform
- set up a robot dog for homeschool or school projects

## When to choose
- you want an affordable open-source quadruped for learning ROS
- you need a hackable robot dog platform with Raspberry Pi expansion
- you want community-supported robotics education hardware

## When to avoid
- you need an industrial-grade legged robot
- you want a ready-made robot with no assembly
- you don't use ROS or Linux

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: robotics, machine-learning, computer-vision
- domain: robotics, education, computer-vision
- platform: python, embedded
- tags: ros, quadruped, robot-dog, raspberry-pi, mini-pupper, slam, navigation, opencv, hardware-kit, linux
