The Maker’s Pet Robotics Kit is a DIY learning kit designed for robotics enthusiasts, students, and hobbyists who want to explore autonomous navigation and mapping. At its core, the ESP32 works with both Arduino and ROS2, using a LiDAR sensor to detect obstacles, map its surroundings, and move independently. As it comes with a 120mm round base, two N20 motors for smooth movement, and a 360° LiDAR sensor for accurate mapping of its surroundings, this setup allows it to navigate spaces, avoid obstacles, and even adapt to changing surroundings.
This robot is great for testing new projects like self-driving and object detection. The knowledge gained will be use full for building autonomous robots, improving warehouse automation, or even creating smart home gadgets that can move around on their own. This project kit will be a perfect learning experience for students who want to dive into robotics and automation.
The Makers Pet Robot Kit gets a new feature of a downloadable app by late 2025, which will thus help makers to expand the use case beyond what is provided now. which will have the option to download ready-made apps or create and publish their own. This project is a perfect way to dive into robotics, offering a mix of hands-on building, coding, and real-world applications.
