Feature description

This feature submission is part of the NASA Space ROS Sim Summer Sprint Challenge.

Integrate FREISA Robot Dog with Space ROS Mars Rover Demo

This is yet another project from the B-AROL-O Team - a group of friends who in their spare time enjoy creating fun projects with Robotics, Computer Vision and LEGO®.

Everything we do - both hardware and software - is Open Source and shared on GitHub.

Our projects have been awarded several prizes in worldwide competitions on Computer Vision and robotics. As an example, project "Four-legged Robot Ensuring Intelligent Sprinkler Automation" (a.k.a. FREISA) - was the Grand Prize Winner 🥇 of the OpenCV AI Competition 2023 with OpenCV, Khadas and Seeed Studio.

As part of this Feature Request, we plan to integrate the simulation of our FREISA Robot Dog (based on the Mini Pupper 2 Pro by MangDang (HK) Limited) inside the Space ROS Mars Rover demo.

Implementation considerations

Please check the README.md in the linked PR for architecture, design choices and further details.

Added bonus

The proposed feature is only dealing with the integration of the Mini Pupper 2 robot inside Space ROS demo. However, once the PR is merged, as an added bonus it should be possible to instantiate in the Space ROS Demo any of the quadruped robots supported by CHAMP:
