Classroom Engagement Camera Kit v18 - Raspberry Pi 5 Robot with Coordinated Base and Arm Motion for Education Analytics

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 lets you build a mobile manipulator that uses lidar-based SLAM to navigate a classroom, locates objects with a Pi Camera Module 3, and picks them up - all controlled by a single Python program running on a Raspberry Pi 5. Designed for education analytics projects, it showcases how coordinated base and arm motion extends a robot's reach, enabling data collection over a wide workspace.

What You'll Build

You will assemble a 4-servo robot arm on a differential-drive chassis, integrate a 360-degree RPLidar A1, and mount a high-resolution camera. The unified controller software, which you will write with guidance, seamlessly fuses navigation and manipulation. The robot maps its surroundings, drives to a target, and executes precise pick-and-place routines - all logged for later analysis.

What You'll Learn

• Implement simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) with RPLidar A1 on Raspberry Pi 5
• Design inverse kinematics for a 4-DOF arm and synchronize with chassis motion
• Use the Pi Camera Module 3 for object detection and coordinate transformation
• Build a multimodal controller that handles drive motors and servos through a single Python interface

Why Buy This Kit Instead of Sourcing Parts Separately

Who This Kit Is For

Undergraduates in AI, Robotics, or ECE working on final year projects or Smart India Hackathon submissions will find the coordinated control challenge ideal. CBSE Class 11-12 students with Python basics can tackle it over a weekend. ATL Tinkering Labs and instructors at IIT, NIT, VIT, or BITS can use it to demonstrate autonomous manipulation and data-driven robotics in a single 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.
