The RaspRover is an open-source, four-wheel-drive AI robot platform powered by a dual-controller architecture. A Raspberry Pi 4B or 5 (not included) handles high-level AI processing and computer vision, while an onboard ESP32 manages motor control and sensor data in real time.
Built with an all-metal chassis for durability, the RaspRover supports vision line tracking, object recognition, real-time video streaming, and gamepad or web-based control — making it a capable platform for robotics education, computer vision projects, and autonomous navigation experiments.
Key Features
- Dual-Controller Architecture – Raspberry Pi 4B/5 for AI processing paired with an ESP32 sub-controller for motion and sensors
- 5 MP Wide-Angle Camera – 160° field of view on a Pan-Tilt module for omnidirectional video capture
- Computer Vision – High-frame-rate video transmission with AI-driven object recognition and line tracking
- All-Metal Body – Rugged construction built for repeated use and experimentation
- Multiple Control Methods – Web application (cross-platform, no install required), Jupyter Lab, or wireless gamepad
- 40-Pin GPIO Header – Extended header for expansion with LIDAR, additional sensors, and peripherals
- Audio I/O – Dual-track speaker, onboard microphone, and 3.5 mm audio jack
- LED Lighting – High-brightness LED for low-light operation (PT version)
- Top Speed – 0.65 m/s with PID closed-loop motor control
Power
- 3S UPS module compatible with 18650 lithium batteries (not included)
Specifications
- Weight – 1007 g (AI Kit) to 1330 g (PT model)
- Camera – 5 MP, 160° wide-angle
- Pan-Tilt Servo Torque – 20 kg·cm
- Motor Control – PID closed-loop
- Connectivity – Wi-Fi (via Raspberry Pi)
Note: Raspberry Pi is not included. Power plug is US model. This listing is for the RaspRover PT Pi5 AI Kit (Pan & Tilt version).

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- ESP32
- ESP32 is a family of microcontroller modules with built-in wireless features such as Bluetooth and WiFi. Knowing this product uses an ESP32-based module helps explain how it provides wireless serial communication and firmware update features.
- GPIO
- General-purpose input/output pins are microcontroller pins you can set in software to read signals, switch devices on and off, or connect to peripherals. The number of GPIO pins matters because it limits how many buttons, LEDs, sensors, and other parts you can wire directly to the board.
- kg·cm
- A torque unit often used for hobby servos, meaning how many kilograms of force the servo can hold at a 1 cm arm length. A higher kg·cm rating means the servo can move or hold heavier loads, but power supply current needs may also increase.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
- LiDAR
- A sensing method that uses laser light to measure distance and build a 3D picture of the surroundings. It matters for robotics and autonomous systems because LiDAR data can help with mapping, navigation and obstacle detection.
- servo
- A servo is a motor with built-in position control, usually told to move to a specific angle by a control signal. It matters when you need repeatable movement, such as steering, arms, flaps, or linkages, rather than continuous spinning.
- Torque
- A twisting force that causes something to rotate, usually measured in newton-metres or kilogram-centimetres. It matters when choosing motors, servos, gears, and tools because higher torque is needed to lift heavier loads, turn larger wheels, or move mechanisms without stalling.
- UPS
- An uninterruptible power supply is a battery-backed power system that keeps a device running when external power is unplugged or fails. For an embedded computer, it helps prevent sudden shutdowns that can corrupt files or interrupt a project.
