Canonical robot record
Overview
Mini Pupper is an open-source quadruped robot dog created by MangDang, a Hong Kong company specializing in robot products. Launched as the company's first product, it is built around a Raspberry Pi and aims to help robotics enthusiasts, especially students, build their own quadruped robot systems affordably. It is positioned for makers and K12 education, with pre-assembled and DIY-oriented kit options.
RoboZaps maintains this record as part of its canonical robotics database. Specs are source-verified where linked; the record compares public facts across manufacturers rather than representing a single robot maker.
