Hiwonder AI Tool for VEX AI Robotics Competition (VAIRC) with Precision Depth Camera & LiDAR for Robot Programming

The Hiwonder AI Tool Kit is an advanced hardware integration package designed for students and teams competing in the VEX AI Robotics Competition (VAIRC). Developed in collaboration with MAGIKID, this kit equips your autonomous robot with powerful spatial sensing and object recognition capabilities. It is the ideal upgrade for competitors looking to interface a Jetson Orin Nano with the VEX V5 Brain for high-level autonomous navigation and manipulation.

Advanced VEX AI competition integration

This kit simplifies the hardware connection between the Jetson Orin Nano and the VEX V5 Brain, streamlining your AI robot development. It includes essential programming resources and tutorials to help teams establish a robust foundation for their custom autonomous solutions.

YOLO11-powered DaBai depth camera

The integrated depth camera is trained on the YOLO11 framework to accurately identify red rings, blue rings, fixed posts, and moving posts. This allows your robot to perform precise target recognition and visual calibration in dynamic competition environments.

EAI G4 LiDAR navigation

The integrated G4 LiDAR system provides precise obstacle avoidance and real-time navigation capabilities. It supports advanced robot path planning and motion control to ensure smooth, reliable operation on the field.

Autonomous gripping and placement

The system enables complex tasks such as scanning for specific colour rings, executing automatic gripping, and navigating to posts. Using the depth camera for alignment, the robot can complete precise placements on both fixed and moving posts.

Hardware-focused development platform

This technical solution provides the physical hardware connection for the VAIRC challenge without restricting your team's custom programming or mechanical design. Please note that development and production design explanations are not provided with the purchase.

Complete competition hardware package

The kit includes the Jetson Orin Nano, the DaBai depth camera, the EAI G4 LiDAR system, and the necessary connection interfaces. This comprehensive package ensures your team has the essential hardware required to start programming autonomous routines immediately.
