Wheelson: Build & Code Your Own AI Self-Driving Car

Autonomous cars are the future and we’ll show you how it works. This tiny wheeled robot has a camera and a microcomputer and can be programmed to autonomously navigate a small road while driving, just like an autonomous car would (yeah, like Tesla). It has built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi so you can connect it to other devices wirelessly. Wheelson also has an LCD display where you can see what the robot sees. It’s powered by four small electromotors and has a rechargeable Li-Po battery included. This DIY kit is complete with the components you’ll need to build the car and learn new skills all the way through.

• Assemble a small 4-wheeled robot
• Control an electromotor using a microcomputer
• Learn how computer vision works
• Calibrate your robot’s camera
• Know how autonomous cars work & how to make your car navigate a road autonomously
• Recognize & scan a QR code using your robot’s camera
• Recognize different simple objects using a camera & image processing algorithms
