Classroom Engagement Camera Kit v4: Train a Pi 5 Robot to Drive Like You Using Behaviour Cloning

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

This kit transforms education analytics into hands-on AI. You'll build a Raspberry Pi 5 robot that watches your steering commands through a wide-angle camera, then clones your behaviour to navigate a track autonomously. It's the same imitation learning principle used in self-driving research, wrapped into a classroom-ready project that makes machine learning tangible.

What You'll Build

An autonomous robot on a chassis, powered by a Raspberry Pi 5 and Pi Camera Module 3 Wide. You'll drive it manually along a track while it records image frames and your steering inputs as training data. A behaviour cloning neural network then learns to map camera images directly to motor commands, letting the robot drive the same track on its own — exactly like you demonstrated. The NVMe SSD ensures fast dataset storage and model training without SD card bottlenecks.

What You'll Learn

• Collect synchronized camera frames and motor commands for imitation learning datasets
• Train a convolutional neural network for end-to-end steering policy on the Raspberry Pi 5
• Deploy a real-time inference pipeline using the Pi Camera and Cytron Motor Driver
• Evaluate behaviour cloning performance through lap time consistency and path tracking accuracy
