Run a Hierarchical Task Planner on a Physical Robot with Raspberry Pi 5

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

Imagine commanding a robot with a single high-level sentence—“pick up the red block and place it on the shelf”—and watching it reason, plan, and physically complete the task. This kit lets you build that system from the ground up. You’ll deploy a large language model (LLM) on the Raspberry Pi 5 that dynamically breaks down goals into sub-tasks, passes them to a symbolic planner, and drives a real DC-motor robot with vision feedback. It’s an end-to-end AI robotics pipeline condensed into one hands-on project.

What You'll Build

You’ll assemble a compact wheeled robot with a Pi Camera Module 3 and NVMe SSD storage, then configure the Pi 5 to run an LLM-based task planner. The system accepts natural language goals, translates them into a sequence of actionable steps (move, locate, pick, place), and executes each step on the physical chassis. By the end, you’ll have a fully functional demonstration of hierarchical planning that you can extend with your own use cases.

What You'll Learn

• Integrate an LLM (like LLaMA) on Pi 5 for real-time goal decomposition
• Design a symbolic action dispatcher that maps planner output to motor commands
• Calibrate and use the Pi Camera Module 3 for visual localisation and feedback loops
• Optimise Raspberry Pi 5 performance with NVMe SSD via M.2 HAT+ for low-latency planner execution

Why Buy This Kit Instead of Sourcing Parts Separately

Who This Kit Is For

This is built for B.Tech ECE, CSE, and AI/ML students who want a capstone project that impresses faculty and hackathon judges. It’s also ideal for participants in Smart India Hackathon or DRDO/Robocon teams, as well as researchers at IITs, NITs, VIT, or BITS Pilani prototyping autonomous planning stacks. If you have basic Python and Linux familiarity and want to break into AI robotics, this kit accelerates your learning by months.

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.
