Details

Start learning AI vision on Raspberry Pi 5 with a 4WD robot car that combines FPV driving, camera pan/tilt, and onboard sensors.

Python + open-source CV gameplay covers visual recognition, tracking, and autonomous driving, with FPV control and mobile app support.

Built for Raspberry Pi 5 performance, supporting smoother camera processing for computer-vision learning projects.

Choose a kit configuration based on whether you already have a microSD (TF) card for Raspberry Pi 5.

Bundle options are available with a preloaded TF card and Raspberry Pi 5 (4GB) for faster setup.

For more room to expand, the Raspberry Pi 5 (8GB) bundle pairs with a prewritten TF card for quick start.

A cost-effective way to explore AI vision on Raspberry Pi, combining a CSI camera, PTZ mount, and robot chassis in one build.

Drive in FPV mode from iOS/Android with real-time video return and an on-screen remote control interface.

Control it your way—mobile app for driving, PC web programming in JupyterLab, or the included infrared remote.

Prebuilt demos help you practice color tracking, following behaviors, and QR code control using Python-based vision routines.

Autopilot routines use OpenCV processing and PID control concepts to support automatic driving experiments.

Sensor-based play includes obstacle avoidance, infrared line tracking, ultrasound follow, and buzzer sound effects.

Core hardware integrates a multifunction expansion board with 4WD drive, camera pan/tilt, ultrasonic ranging, and a tracking module.

Step-by-step lessons and downloadable documents support assembly, coding, and vision experiments.

Check dimensions and key specs before building, including camera interface details and overall assembled size.

Everything needed for assembly is itemized, including chassis electronics, motors, sensors, cables, remote, and tools (options vary).
