Features
- AI Vision Robot Powered by Raspberry PiMatserPi is a smart vision robot car powered by Raspberry Pi. It is built on a Mecanum-wheel chassis, adopts high-quality metal gear servos and HD camera, and can be programmed in Python. With its impressive capabilities, MasterPi unlocks diverse AI applications.
- High-performance Vision Robot ArmLoaded with a 5DOF robot arm, MasterPi excels in transporting objects. The HD camera positioned at the end of robot arm provides first-person-view perspective. By leveraging OpenCV library, MasterPi can effectively recognize and locate target objects so as to implement AI applications, such as color sorting, target tracking and line following.
- 360 Omnidirectional MovementMasterPi is equipped with advanced omnidirectional Mecanum wheels, achieving flexible 360 movement. With its versatile movement modes including forward, horizontal, diagonal, and rotation, MasterPi effortlessly tackles complex routes with exceptional performance.
- App Remote Control MasterPi offers ultimate control over its motion, gripping, and transportation with a dedicated app. In addition, you can explore a wide variety of engaging games on this app.
- Detailed Tutorials and Professional After-sales ServiceWe offer an extensive collection of tutorials in English, along with online technical support (GMT+8) to assist you. These tutorials cover wide range of topics, including getting ready, Raspberry Pi, Mecanum-wheel motion control, AI vision and OpenCV courses. With these tutorials, you can delve into the world of robotics, starting from the fundamentals and progressing to advanced concepts, allowing you to get started quickly.
- NOTE: NOT included the Raspberry Pi board, batteries, and a MicroSD card.
Description
1. 360°Omni-dirctional movement: With omni-directional mecanum wheels, MasterPi can realize 360°movement. Different movement modes (move forward, horizontally, diagonally and rotate ) and excellent performance enable it challenge various complicated routes easily.2. AI Vision Robotic Arm with HD Camera: Combined with HD camera ending in robot arm, it can provide first person view. And masterPi takes OpenCV as image processing library and utilizes FPV to recognize and locate the target block so as to realize color sorting, target tracking, line following, and other AI games.3. Support APP remote control, HD Transmitted Image: Use App to control Masterpi to move, pick and transport at your fingertips.Switch robot modes easily and quickly to experience AI games.4. Hard Aluminium Alloy: It protects the core control board from shattering and shocking and can bear bigger load!5. Tips: Raspberry Pi and TF card is NOT included!!!! Before assembling the robotic arm, please buy it yourself.

The hardware is real metal, and legit. The arm part was pre-assembled. Note that the main metal body is newer than the instructions, but still works, just accept the oval slots as the circle slots in the instructions. The video instructions help too, but just know there's several things missing regardless what instructions you follow, so familiarity with electronics will be pretty helpful, and ignoring the Chinese. You will critically need the links in the Q&A section. The instructions are terrible, but with a little familiarity with electronics, you can follow the partially complete and hardly labeled instructions. You will need to have their Raspbian image written to a microSD card you provide, and insert that into the Raspberry Pi 4 that you also provide. If you are familiar with Raspberry Pi and Linux great, if not, you'll need to Google how to make a bootable flash drive with Raspbian which is the same for the MicroSD. If you're on Windows, you'll find you need to set the Raspbian OS to English (after booting from the robot's hotspot) navigating the Partial Chinese menus (use Google to help you if needed). It is CRITICAL also that you set the encoding in that same section to UTF-8 or the python3 scripts you'll use later will fail. When your robot is turned on, wait up to 5 minutes for it to boot the Raspberry Pi and its OS. You'll hear a beep, then you should see the Wi-Fi hotspot it creates that starts with "HW-" on your laptop. You'll use the software they include on the Google Drive download to install the Windows software (which has a VM for accessing the robot's Raspbian OS and terminal for the Python3 scripts). Lastly, make sure you know VIM or Nano to do the script editing as you can't use the Internet to download another code editor. The deviation and calibration program worked well. The first forward script did not work properly, but further reading in the tutorial tells you what the arguments are for so you can correct it yourself in the code. So basically, you should know electronics, Linux, tech stuff like making bootable disks, have a Raspberry Pi 4, 16 GB MicroSD card, two of those Lithium ion batteries (this comes with a generic charger), know how to code in VIM or Nano using the Python3 coding language (though they try to help you navigate simply), know at least one coding language, read this review, and then... You can help your son use it like I did, after he and I went through the chaos of figuring out all the issues and missing info, haha. 🤪 Over all, really cool. Just really complicated to get going. P.S. Haven't tried a mobile app, but apparently that has to be installed a non-conventional way, and that I'm not a fan of. They do make an Android app that supports two other robots, but not this one. Maybe the iOS version is good.

Got it working. As previously said the instructions are horrible. Here are some tips to help out if you haven’t used a raspberry pie before. Download the raspberry pi imager Download the MasterPi20220528.img file from the Amazon Q&A google drive link. Use the raspberry pi imager to load the image on the SD card using your PC. Select use custom. Select MasterPi20220528.img Put the micro SD card in the raspberry pi. Do this before putting the arm on the robot. You can boot the pi with a HDMI monitor and usb keyboard if you have the cable if VNC does work per the instructions. Set system to English using preferences\configuration\localization After that most the software instructions are ok. The pdf for the mechanical build is out of order. You must watch the videos. I recommend getting the initial software setup working before the mechanical build. Good luck

I'm a Ph.D. AI engineer and I wanted a platform to teach my 6 years old how to code in python and use Tensorflow in robotic-themed hands-on activities. I ordered the one without the RPI4, and bought that separately. I had a RPI3 but it didn't work with higwonder libraries. I requested the os image and the software and the support team provided it in less than 12 hours., Impressive! You can find my question with the reply from support on Amazon Q&A that provided links to the image drive. The robot worked right after I set up the pi image and my son started playing with it right away. I tried to connect via VNC thinking it won't work and to my surprise, I was writing a python code on the platform in a few minutes. Do not expect the typical low-quality Chinese stuff with this robot. I myself cannot build a software and a platform that's easier than this. The platform is impressive and their support is outstanding too. The software is really great and for this price, I cannot recommend it more to any person wanting to start in robotics. My next move after integrating Tensorflow and adding AI capabilities is to add a Lidar and install ROS on it. I will update on how it goes.
