## Health v2 (maintenance only)
Score: 32/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-03T02:20:16.233290+00:00)
- activity 0, release rhythm 35, longevity 100
- inputs: {"age_days": 2347, "days_push": 1992, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: no_releases
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
Open-source software for controlling a 3D-printed Spot Micro quadruped robot, implementing sit, stand, angle, and walking motion via ROS nodes in C++ and Python. It runs on a Raspberry Pi 3B with ROS Kinetic and supports extras like SLAM mapping with a body-mounted lidar.

## Use cases
- build a 3d printed quadruped robot
- control a spot micro robot dog
- implement walking gait control for a four-legged robot
- add slam and lidar mapping to a hobby robot
- learn ros robotics with a physical robot

## When to choose
- you have or plan to build the Spot Micro hardware frame with servos and Raspberry Pi
- you want an open-source ROS-based quadruped with walking and SLAM support

## When to avoid
- you need a modern or actively maintained robotics stack (targets Ubuntu 16.04 / ROS Kinetic)
- you want quadruped control without the specific Spot Micro hardware

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: robotics, embedded, simulation
- domain: robotics, embedded-systems, hardware
- platform: python, cpp, embedded, iot
- tags: quadruped-robot, ros, raspberry-pi, slam, lidar, servo-control, 3d-printed-robot, linux
