That aims to foster creativity and technical expertise among robotics enthusiasts by providing a platform for them to showcase their skills and learn from others. The company offers two primary robots, each catering to distinct needs and interests.
The first robot, the Pupper, is available in several versions, including the Mini Pupper 1, Mini Pupper 2, and models 2G and 2GA. This cost-effective quadruped package is equipped with open-source software, offering a personalized robot solution. The Mini Pupper enables seamless integration with cutting-edge multimodal generative AI platforms from OpenAI (ChatGPT), Google (Gemini), and Amazon Web Services (AWS) in a single solution. Furthermore, he is compatible with both ROS1 and ROS2, thereby expanding his capabilities in the areas of SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) and navigation. By integrating OpenCV, the robot enables deep learning with cameras to perform real-time image processing and analysis, revolutionizing its sensing capabilities. Thanks to the use of Raspberry Pi and Arduino, the Mini Pupper offers high adaptability and expandability, making it an excellent choice for developers who want to bring their own projects to life.
The second presented robot is the one that will become available soon. This robot is specifically designed for schools, homeschooling families, and robotics enthusiasts. While detailed specifications have not yet been fully published, it is clear that the Turtle Robotic also aims to support learning and creativity in the field of robotics.
The campaign set a financing goal of €9,000 and has surpassed it by a significant margin, having achieved a total sum of nearly €19,000, exceeding the original target by over 200%. Die Kampagne läuft vom 5. September 2024 bis zum 5. As of October 2024, the initiative has garnered 80 supporters so far. A distinctive feature of the MD Robotic Kits is their open-source nature, enabling users to assemble the robots in under an hour. This makes them particularly accessible to a broad audience, ranging from educational institutions to DIY enthusiasts. The project is designed to convey not just technical knowledge, but also foster enthusiasm for designing and customizing robots.
