UGV Rover Open-source 6 Wheels 4WD AI Robot Kit, Dual controllers, All-metal Body, Computer Vision, Suitable for RPi 4B - With Pan-Tilt Module & Power Supply  [Raspberry Pi Not Included]

UGV ROVER, a 6-wheel 4WD AI robot, features a dual-controller structure. The ESP32 slave computer controls the motor PID, IMU sensors, OLED screen, servo, LED ON/OFF, and so on, which greatly reduces the IO resources for the host computer and provides high-performance communication interfaces. Also, the host controller supports Raspberry Pi 4B, offering high computational power and advanced features such as specified strategies.

It is high-strength and more durable as the robot's body is made of a 2mm thick aluminum alloy casing. In addition, it adopts soft and anti-slip rubber tires paired with four gear motors with encoders, functioning closed-loop speed control and reducing vibration. It enjoys a more excellent performance in movement with a maximum speed of 0.5m/s. With the built-in 3S lithium battery UPS power module, it offers robust and long-lasting motivation, supporting continuous use while charging to meet long-term development and usage requirements.

The Raspberry Pi 4B paired with a USB camera provides users with a smooth visual experience through real-time footage with high frame rates and low latency. Users can enjoy capturing different wonderful moments through functions such as taking photos and recording videos. Additionally, various feedback information from the robot, including battery voltage and CPU usage, is displayed in real-time through a web application, allowing users to monitor the robot's status in real-time.

The robot's visual system is equipped with a 2DOF(degrees of freedom) high-torque flexible pan-tilt and a 160° ultra-wide-angle 5-megapixel camera, providing users with a wide field of view, flexible viewing angles, and various AI machine vision functions. The high-brightness LED spotlight next to the pan-tilt ensures clear visibility even in low-light environments. Additionally, the design with Picatinny rails allows users to easily expand more tactical accessories, further enhancing the robot's functionality.

To enable users to fully leverage the potential of this robot, we provide online documentation and tutorials, including a JupyterLab web application. Whether you're a beginner in robotics technology or an experienced developer, you can delve into learning, understanding, and creating step by step through these resources.

Raspberry pi 4B is not included, Can be purchased separately.
