Master ROS2 Navigation with the Pi 5 Full Autonomous Mobile Robot Kit

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

Bring a full autonomous mobile robot stack to life on a Raspberry Pi 5. You’ll assemble, flash, and deploy a ROS2 Humble workspace that drives a differential-drive chassis, builds maps with the RPLidar A1, plans collision‑free paths with Nav2, and dodges unexpected obstacles using fused sensor data. Whether you are coding a final‑year capstone, preparing for the Smart India Hackathon, or prototyping a research AMR, this kit gives you every wire, sensor, and compute board pre‑validated for the job.

What You'll Build

By the end of the 10‑12‑hour build, you’ll have a differential‑drive robot that scans its environment with LiDAR, runs Hector SLAM or Cartographer to generate a live 2D occupancy grid, estimates its pose using the MPU9250 IMU and wheel odometry, and navigates to user‑set goals while dynamically re‑planning around moving obstacles. The Nav2 stack runs entirely on‑board the Pi 5, and the NVMe SSD ensures that large map files and ROS bag recordings never overwhelm your storage.

What You'll Learn

• Install and configure ROS2 Humble on Ubuntu Server 22.04 running natively on the Raspberry Pi 5.
• Generate real‑time maps using the RPLidar A1 and tune the Cartographer SLAM parameters for indoor environments.
• Deploy the complete Nav2 navigation stack including global and local planners, costmaps, and AMCL for Monte‑Carlo localisation.
• Fuse IMU, wheel encoder odometry, and Pi Camera Module 3 depth data to increase localisation accuracy and enable visual obstacle detection.

Why Buy This Kit Instead of Sourcing Parts Separately

Who This Kit Is For

Designed for B.Tech ECE, EEE, and Mechanical students building final‑year robotics projects, as well as teams participating in the Smart India Hackathon and ATL Tinkering Lab mentors who need an advanced platform. Researchers at IIT, NIT, VIT, or BITS using a familiar ROS stack for prototyping will find everything ready to go. If you have completed an intermediate Raspberry Pi project and understand basic Linux, you are ready to tackle this AMR.

Built and Backed by Compoden

Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
