Why it’s in

  • One of the cheapest real ROS 2 legged robots: SLAM and navigation work with the LiDAR add-on.
  • Open hardware and software with active updates in 2025–2026 (vision tracking, fleet control, ROS 2 Jazzy).
  • An animated LCD face gives it more personality than a bare development board on legs.

What bothers us

  • The design dates from 2022 (Raspberry Pi CM4), and no newer model has been announced.
  • Controller, camera and LiDAR cost extra, and the official spec sheet is sparse.
  • A small company with no EU dealers; buyers handle import themselves.
