Raspberry Pi 5 Counterfactual Retail Analytics Robot Kit

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

Build a mobile robot that doesn't just count retail footfall - it asks "why" and answers "what if." This kit equips you with a self-navigating camera platform that captures customer movement patterns, stores weeks of high-resolution data, and runs a counterfactual reasoning engine on the Raspberry Pi 5. You'll simulate alternative store layouts, product placements, or promotional periods to discover how small changes might have altered foot traffic.

What You'll Build

You'll assemble a wheeled robot with a Pi Camera Module 3, capable of autonomous patrols inside a retail space. The recorded videos stream onto a 512GB NVMe SSD for fast data access. A custom PyTorch-based model trains on the footfall data to learn causal relationships, then replays scenarios with altered inputs to generate heatmaps, path deviation analyses, and "what-if" reports - turning historical data into actionable counterfactual insights.

What You'll Learn

• Configure a Raspberry Pi 5 with an NVMe SSD and M.2 HAT for high-speed vision data logging
• Implement person detection and multi-object tracking with the Pi Camera Module 3
• Design and train a counterfactual reasoning model that infers cause-and-effect from footfall sequences
• Integrate Cytron motor driver and DC motors for autonomous navigation, mapping, and store patrol routines
