Educational Robot Car

Product Overview

Discover the innovative way to learn robotics with our educational robot car. By choosing this product, you can migrate complex computing tasks to a PC virtual machine environment, eliminating the need for an embedded development board like Jetson NANO or Raspberry Pi as the main controller. The robot car transmits data and information to the PC virtual machine system via the ESP32 co-processor using MicroROS's WIFI UDP function, allowing for calculations and decision-making on the remote PC.

Key Features

1. Cost-effective solution with a virtual machine controller, departing from traditional development boards.
2. Enhanced remote communication through the built-in ESP32 in the MicroROS control board.
3. Packed with course materials and source codes crafted for user reference, courtesy of the ROS2-Humble operating system and Python3 programming.
4. Supports various functions including lidar obstacle avoidance, mapping navigation, RVIZ simulation, multi-machine synchronization control, and remote control via app or handle.
5. Durable and elegant design made of anodized aluminum alloy with a robust 310 encoder motor and a high-capacity 7.4V battery.
