Slamdog 3.0 mini

Slamdog 3.0 mini is a ROS 2-native mobile robot designed as a modular reference platform for research, teaching, and applied robotics development. Built as a modular system, it allows easy adaptation to different applications, sensor configurations, and hardware setups while maintaining reproducible workflows between simulation and real hardware.

Rather than targeting a fixed application, Slamdog 3.0 mini provides a flexible foundation for validating algorithms, system architectures, and robotic concepts under realistic conditions.
