The Hiwonder MentorPi M1 is an advanced, ROS2-powered robot car built on the high-performance Raspberry Pi 5 platform. Equipped with a Mecanum-wheel chassis, Lidar, and a 2DOF monocular camera, it is the ideal learning and development tool for students, educators, and hobbyists diving into autonomous driving and SLAM. With comprehensive tutorials and YOLOv11 support, this platform makes complex AI robotics highly accessible.

Raspberry Pi 5 processing power

Powered by the Raspberry Pi 5, the MentorPi M1 provides the processing performance needed to run complex motion control, machine vision, and OpenCV projects. This makes it an excellent platform for developing advanced AI applications.

2DOF camera with 360-degree vision

The robot is equipped with a 2DOF monocular camera driven by two LFD-01 anti-blocking servos. Combined with the versatile chassis, this setup allows for full 360-degree vision with no blind spots.

Lidar-based SLAM and path planning

Utilising high-performance Lidar, the MentorPi M1 employs SLAM technology for precise mapping and autonomous navigation. It can plan complex paths, navigate to specific coordinates, and dynamically avoid obstacles in its environment.

High-speed closed-loop encoder motors

Powerful and precise movement is delivered by high-speed closed-loop motors featuring high-precision encoders. A protective end cap is included on each motor to ensure a longer service life.

Autonomous driving and YOLOv11 training

The robot car is capable of advanced vision recognition, including detecting road signs and traffic lights using YOLOv11 model training. It serves as a comprehensive gateway to autonomous driving and AI robotics.

Dual-controller design for efficient collaboration

The system features a dual-controller architecture that optimises processing efficiency. This design ensures reliable collaboration between high-level AI tasks and low-level hardware control.

Comprehensive robot function list

The MentorPi M1 supports a wide array of built-in functions for learning and experimentation. This versatile platform is fully equipped to handle diverse robotics and automation tasks.
