Wildlife Camera Trap Kit v10: Raspberry Pi 5 Autonomous Robot with SLAM, Nav2, and AI Camera

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

This kit puts a complete autonomous mobile robot stack on your workbench—SLAM mapping, localization, Nav2 path planning, dynamic obstacle avoidance, and camera-based scene analysis—all running on a Raspberry Pi 5. Designed as a wildlife monitoring platform, the robot can map its environment, navigate waypoints, and capture images when specific events trigger its AI camera pipeline, making it equally powerful for conservation projects and advanced ROS 2 learning.

What You'll Build

You'll assemble a compact differential-drive robot with RPLidar, IMU, and a Pi Camera Module 3. After flashing Ubuntu and ROS 2, the onboard NVMe SSD runs the navigation stack smoothly. The result is a fully autonomous robot that maps rooms or outdoor areas using gmapping or SLAM Toolbox, plans paths to user-defined goals, and avoids obstacles in real time. The camera trap logic can be programmed to detect motion or animals, then store photos—turning the robot into a self-navigating wildlife observer.

What You'll Learn

• Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) with 2D lidar and odometry
• Autonomous navigation using ROS 2 Nav2 (planner, controller, recovery behaviors)
• Sensor fusion of IMU, encoders, and lidar for robust localization
• Deploying AI vision models on Raspberry Pi 5 with camera integration

Why Buy This Kit Instead of Sourcing Parts Separately

Who This Kit Is For

This kit is built for final-year B.Tech ECE/EEE students, robotics interns, and IIT/NIT/VIT/BITS teams working on autonomous navigation projects or Smart India Hackathon challenges. It also suits ATL lab mentors who want to demonstrate advanced ROS 2 and computer vision on real hardware. If you have experience with Raspberry Pi and Linux and are ready to tackle SLAM and Nav2, this kit gives you everything in one box.

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.
