# Cheetah Documentation

> Automated quality inspection platform for advanced manufacturing. Integrated cobot, industrial 3D scanners, and analysis software for dimensional, surface, weld, and electronic inspections.

The hardware platform and operator applications are stable. The developer integration surface — HTTP API, Python and TypeScript SDKs, webhook event payloads — is in **early alpha** and may change between releases.

Every page is available as raw Markdown by appending `.md` to the URL, or by sending `Accept: text/markdown`.
