Pi 5 ROS2 Vision Navigation Robot
Pi 5 ROS2 Vision Navigation Robot – Build a Self-Driving Robot with Lane Following and Obstacle Detection
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Turn a Raspberry Pi 5 into a fully autonomous self-driving vehicle that follows lanes and avoids obstacles entirely on-device. The robot runs ROS2 Humble, processes wide-angle camera frames for real-time lane detection, and fuses RPLidar scans to navigate dynamically without any cloud dependency. It’s the complete stack you need to prototype an autonomous mobile robot in a single weekend.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble and program a wheeled robot that autonomously follows taped lanes, detects obstacles in 360°, and re-plans its path using sensor fusion. The finished platform is a portable testbed ready for SLAM, path planning, and object-detection experiments—exactly the kind of advanced robotics project that dominates engineering hackathons and final-year submissions.
What You'll Learn
- Set up ROS2 Humble on Raspberry Pi 5 with an NVMe SSD for high-bandwidth data processing
- Implement lane detection using OpenCV and the Pi Camera Module 3 Wide’s field of view
- Integrate RPLidar A1 for 360-degree obstacle detection and publish standard /scan topics
- Develop a custom ROS2 node for sensor fusion and motor control via the Cytron driver

Who This Kit Is For
Advanced B.Tech ECE/EEE students building self-driving car or ROS-based final-year projects, Smart India Hackathon participants prototyping autonomous systems, and ATL Tinkering Lab mentors introducing computer vision to senior students. If you’ve already built line-followers and want to deploy a full ROS2 sensor‑fusion stack, this is your next platform.
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?
Scan the included QR code to access your AI build companion, pre-trained on this exact ROS2 navigation stack. If you need human help, WhatsApp support is monitored by engineers familiar with the kit.
Is this kit suitable for a Smart India Hackathon autonomous vehicle challenge?
Yes. The kit provides a working ROS2 autonomous navigation base that you can extend for SIH‑level challenges: add GPS waypoints, integrate YOLO for sign detection, or implement VSLAM using the camera.
What software and OS setup is required?
The kit runs on Ubuntu Server 24.04 with ROS2 Humble. The AI companion guides you through flashing the NVMe SSD, installing all dependencies, and cloning the required ROS2 packages — no prior ROS2 installation needed.
Can I use this for an undergraduate final-year project?
Absolutely. The lane‑following and obstacle‑avoidance stack forms a robust foundation for a B.Tech thesis in robotics or embedded AI. You own the full codebase and hardware to customize and document as required.
