Created by MangDang, the Mini Pupper was launched back in 2021. Now, the robot is getting a few upgrades with the release of the Mini Pupper 2. The open source robot features an upgraded servo system, allowing it to more intelligently react to its environment. Using LIDAR and camera modules, the robot can perform object and pet detection to initiate live interactions with a pet. The Mini Pupper 2 even features an external power adapter and a mobile control app.
