SparkFun JetBot AI Kit v2.1 (Without Jetson Nano)

The SparkFun JetBot AI Kit v2.1 is a ready-to-assemble robot platform powered by the NVIDIA Jetson Nano Developer Kit (not included). Based on the open-source NVIDIA JetBot project, this kit provides all the hardware needed to build an AI-driven robot capable of object following, collision avoidance, and more.

The included microSD image comes pre-configured with JetBot software, JetBot ROS (Robot Operating System), and AWS RoboMaker Ready with AWS IoT Greengrass — enabling connected and intelligent robotics beyond the standard JetBot examples. Interactive tutorials guide you through harnessing AI and machine learning on the Jetson Nano platform.

Key Features

  • NVIDIA JetBot Compatible – Based on the open-source JetBot project
  • Ready-to-Assemble – All parts included, just add your Jetson Nano and a screwdriver
  • Pre-Configured Software – microSD image with JetBot, ROS, and AWS IoT Greengrass
