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 with you our ROS2 driver for this Lidar. Definitely, we will supply a user guide to let you use it easily. We already tested some Lidar modules, such as PRLidar A1, YDLidar X2L, and LD06. For Mini Pupper, we refer to LD06 as it is smaller. LD06 Lidar module price is the same as their campaign price, but we will ship one additional Mini Pupper servo as a gift.
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: For potential security issues, the camera module is not included in our default package. If you want to explore camera AI functions, you can choose a normal USB camera module or a Pi camera v2.
