Raspberry Pi 5 Smart Doorbell Camera Kit: AI Perception & Planning
Raspberry Pi 5 Smart Doorbell Camera Kit: AI Perception & PDDL Planning
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 construct a doorbell camera that goes beyond motion detection. It captures scene understanding through a neural perception model, populates a symbolic knowledge graph, and uses a PDDL planner to command a 6-DOF robot arm for multi-step physical actions. A Raspberry Pi 5 processes visual data in real time, driving an intelligent assistant that can respond to visitors based on identity or context.
What You'll Build
You will assemble a system where a Pi Camera Module 3 feeds frames into an object detection network running on the Raspberry Pi 5. Detected attributes update a knowledge graph stored on NVMe SSD. A PDDL planner queries the graph to generate action sequences, which the PCA9685 servo driver executes through six MG996R servos mounted on a robot arm. The result: a doorbell camera that can open a latch, pick up a parcel, or signal an alert-all autonomously, based on what it sees.
What You'll Learn
- Implementing neural perception pipelines on edge devices with Raspberry Pi 5 and Pi Camera Module 3
- Building symbolic AI systems using PDDL planning and knowledge graphs
- Controlling servo motors via PCA9685 for multi-DOF robot arm manipulation
- Integrating NVMe SSD storage for high-speed AI model inference and data logging

Who This Kit Is For
This advanced kit suits B.Tech ECE/EEE final year students tackling embodied AI projects, Smart India Hackathon teams building assistive robots, and research scholars at IITs, NITs, VIT, or BITS Pilani working on symbolic planning and perception. It assumes confidence with Python and Linux, offering a real-world challenge in integrating neural and symbolic reasoning on an edge device.
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?
The QR code on the box links to your AI build companion, providing step-by-step troubleshooting specific to the neural perception and planning code. WhatsApp backup is available for personalized help.
Do I need prior experience with PDDL planning?
This kit assumes familiarity with Python and basic AI concepts, but our companion breaks down the PDDL planning examples step by step, so you can learn as you build.
Can I use a different camera module?
The neural perception pipeline is optimized for Pi Camera Module 3, but you can adapt it to others with the AI companion's guidance.
Is the robot arm pre-assembled?
The robot arm kit requires full mechanical assembly; the servo driver and control code handle the kinematics after you calibrate the servos.
Doorbell Security - Neural perception on Pi 5 populates a symbolic knowledge graph - PDDL planner uses graph to plan multi-step manipulation.
