Raspberry Pi 5 Footfall Camera Kit v9 - NAV2 Office Robot
Retail Footfall Camera Kit v9 — Office Delivery Robot with Semantic NAV2 Mapping
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
You’ll assemble an autonomous robot that counts footfall inside retail spaces and delivers items to named rooms — all through semantic mapping. Using a Raspberry Pi 5, RPLidar, and Pi Camera, the bot builds a labeled floorplan (like “Stationery,” “Pantry,” or “Conference”) and drives there on command with Nav2.
What You'll Build
An autonomous mobile robot that scans its environment using lidar and a camera, creates a semantic map with room labels and door detection, then navigates to any named room. The Pi Camera identifies room signs while RPLidar and Nav2 handle obstacle avoidance and path planning, turning your school lab or office into a smart navigation testbed.
What You'll Learn
- Assembling and calibrating a differential drive robot chassis with encoder motors
- Mapping physical environments with RPLidar A1 and ROS2 SLAM Toolbox
- Implementing semantic mapping that labels rooms and detects doorways
- Configuring Nav2 for named-goal navigation and dynamic obstacle avoidance

| Time to first working build | Days of debugging | Hours, with step-by-step guidance |
| Shipping coordination | Multiple sellers, multiple delays | One shipment from Bengaluru in 3-5 days |
Who This Kit Is For
Ideal for CBSE Class 11–12 students exploring robotics for hackathons, B.Tech ECE/EEE undergraduates building ROS projects, ATL Tinkering Lab mentors guiding autonomous systems, and Smart India Hackathon participants prototyping delivery robots. Hobbyists at IITs, NITs, VIT, and BITS Pilani who want a ready-to-assemble semantic mapping platform will also find this kit an edge.
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 QR code on the box to open the AI companion trained on this exact project; it answers wiring, coding, and calibration questions. You can also reach us on WhatsApp for human backup.
Does this kit require prior ROS/ROS2 experience?
No. The step-by-step guide walks you through installing ROS2 Humble, setting up Nav2, and launching semantic SLAM — even if you’ve never used ROS before.
Can I program the robot to handle new room names?
Yes. The semantic map labels are stored in editable configuration files; you can add or rename rooms simply by updating a text file and re-running the mapping node.
Do I need a Wi-Fi network to run the robot?
During initial mapping and setup, a Wi-Fi connection is needed to access the Raspberry Pi desktop. Once the map is saved, the robot can navigate offline using its stored environment data.
