Perfect for simulating real-world automated warehouses or research in robotics planning algorithms. The Raspberry Pi 5 processes camera input in real time, plans a manipulation strategy, and drives four high-torque servos to execute non-prehensile motions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Build\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll assemble a 4-DOF servo-driven arm with a Raspberry Pi 5 brain and a high-resolution Pi Camera Module 3 that identifies objects and decides how to move them. Push a box into a target zone, slide a can along a surface, or topple a bottle to relocate it—all without gripping.
