Pi 5 Multi Robot Task Allocation
Multi Robot Task Allocation Kit for Raspberry Pi 5 – AI Robotics Project
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Design and program a distributed multi-robot system where a Raspberry Pi 5 coordinates three Pi Zero–based robots to complete spatially distributed tasks optimally. This kit teaches real-time implementation of the Hungarian algorithm and auction-based allocation methods, making it ideal for engineering final-year projects, research, and advanced robotics competitions. The system demonstrates how centralised planning combined with autonomous execution solves complex assignment problems in dynamic environments.
What You'll Build
You will construct three differential-drive robots, each powered by a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W and equipped with ultrasonic sensors for obstacle detection. The central Raspberry Pi 5 computes optimal assignment matrices using the Hungarian algorithm, then distributes tasks via Wi-Fi. Each robot executes its assigned tasks independently, with auction-based reallocation handled when new tasks appear. The complete setup becomes a living testbed for multi-agent coordination, swarm logic, and real-time embedded AI.
What You'll Learn
- Implement the Hungarian algorithm for optimal task assignment in real-time robotics
- Develop auction-based dynamic allocation and reallocation code for multi-agent systems
- Interface DC motors through Cytron motor drivers and process ultrasonic sensor data
- Deploy a networked multi-robot system using Pi 5 as a central coordinator and Pi Zeros as agents

Who This Kit Is For
This kit is built for final-year B.Tech ECE, EEE, and CSE students tackling multi-robot systems, AI/ML projects, or Smart India Hackathon challenges. It suits research scholars at IITs, NITs, VIT, BITS, and other engineering colleges working on distributed robotics. ATL Tinkering Labs and advanced makers wanting to explore multi-agent AI will also find it a rigorous, scalable platform ready for extension.
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.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Your AI companion walks you through every step, from flashing SD cards to tuning the Hungarian algorithm. You also get WhatsApp support for quick queries.
Does this kit require prior experience with ROS or multi-robot systems?
It helps if you know Python and basics of networking, but the companion guides you through writing the allocation code from scratch, so ROS is not required.
Can I use this kit for a Smart India Hackathon project?
Absolutely. The multi-robot coordination and dynamic task allocation directly map to SIH problem statements around logistics, warehouse automation, and smart surveillance.
What programming languages are used?
The companion provides Python code for the Pi 5 coordinator and the Pi Zero robots, with libraries for motor control, sensor reading, and socket communication.
Hungarian algorithm and auction-based task allocation on Pi 5 coordinates 3 robots to complete tasks optimally.
