## What it is
Stanford Doggo is an open source, ~5kg quadruped robot capable of jumping, flipping, and trotting, designed as an accessible platform for legged robotics research. The repository provides CAD models, bill of materials, build instructions, and software for the robot.

## Use cases
- build your own open source quadruped robot
- research platform for legged robot locomotion experiments
- learn about quasi-direct drive actuators and robot design
- educational robotics project for students
- study jumping and trotting gait control

## When to choose
- you want a well-documented, low-cost quadruped for research or education
- you need a safe, lightweight robot for lab development
- you want open hardware with CAD, BOM, and software included

## When to avoid
- you need active maintenance or community support - the project is end-of-life
- you need a robot to carry heavy loads or climb aggressive terrain
- you want the latest features - consider the successor Pupper v3 instead

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: abandoned
- function: robotics, embedded, simulation
- domain: robotics, hardware, education
- platform: embedded, cross-platform
- tags: quadruped-robot, legged-robotics, open-hardware, cad, direct-drive, end-of-life, linux
