Learn AI Behaviour Cloning on Raspberry Pi 5 with the Retail Footfall Camera Kit v4

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 building a robot that watches how you drive and then does it exactly like you — no complex code, just demonstration and learning. The Retail Footfall Camera Kit v4 takes you into AI robotics with a real-world retail analytics project: you build a differential-drive robot, collect steering data through the Pi Camera, and train a behaviour cloning model that replicates your driving on any track. It’s the quickest way to understand how autonomous store assistants and delivery bots learn to navigate.

What You'll Build

You’ll assemble a full mobile robot around the Raspberry Pi 5 and a wide-angle camera, then manually drive it around a floor track while recording video and steering commands. The Pi trains a neural network that maps camera images to motor outputs. After training, the robot autonomously follows the track, mimicking the exact driving style you demonstrated — perfect for learning transfer to retail footfall analysis, warehouse robotics, or self-driving car concepts.

What You'll Learn

• Collecting training data using the Pi Camera Module 3 Wide and synchronising it with motor commands
• Training a behaviour cloning model on the Raspberry Pi 5 using recorded image-steering pairs
• Calibrating a Cytron dual motor driver and DC motors for precise differential steering
• Evaluating and improving an edge AI model that generalises to new track layouts

Why Buy This Kit Instead of Sourcing Parts Separately

Who This Kit Is For

Targeted at CBSE Class 11–12 students working on AI electives, B.Tech ECE/EEE students up to their second year, and participants in tech events like Smart India Hackathon. It’s also a natural fit for ATL Tinkering Labs and robotics clubs at IIT, NIT, VIT, or BITS campuses — wherever makers want a hands-on imitation learning project that bridges hardware and modern AI.

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.
