MangDang Mini Pupper 2
Quadruped by MangDang
Mini Pupper 2 is a 12-degree-of-freedom desktop quadruped built around a Raspberry Pi CM4 (or Pi 4) with an ESP32 co-processor, a small LCD face and custom feedback servos. It runs Ubuntu with ROS 1 or ROS 2 and supports SLAM and navigation with an optional lidar module, which makes it a low-cost platform for students and hobbyists learning legged robotics.

Editor's notes
Unverified (free text): open_source hardware. Mass 450 g, payload 200 g and 12 DOF come from the CNX Software launch article (RobotShop listing confirms 450 g, 210x110x160 mm, 1000 mAh). No "2G"/"2GA" variant found on the official store; the store does list a "Mini Pupper 4 Pioneer Program" ($299, sold out) which suggests a new generation is coming. Release year 2023 = Kickstarter shipping date (campaign Oct 2022). Open-source claim is the manufacturer's ("DIY and customize anything"); GitHub org is CC-BY-4.0, hardware files not verified.
