SparkFun JetBot AI Kit Powered by Jetson Nano 2GB

The SparkFun JetBot AI Kit is a comprehensive robot platform that is powered by the NVIDIA® Jetson Nano™ 2GB Developer Kit. This unique kit is designed to provide an easy-to-assemble platform for learning AI and building fun applications. The JetBot AI Kit is user-friendly, compatible with various accessories and provides an excellent foundation for creating new AI projects for enthusiasts, students, and makers.

The JetBot AI Kit comes with interactive tutorials that guide you in harnessing the power of AI. You can teach your JetBot to follow objects, avoid collisions, and much more. The Jetson Nano 2GB Developer Kit is equipped with useful tools like the Jetson GPIO Python library and is compatible with common sensors and peripherals. It also offers new python compatibility with the SparkFun Qwiic ecosystem.

The kit includes an image with the advanced functionality of JetBot ROS (Robot Operating System) and AWS RoboMaker Ready with AWS IoT Greengrass already installed. This makes the SparkFun JetBot AI Kit the only kit currently available that is ready to venture beyond the standard JetBot examples and into the world of connected and intelligent robotics.

The kit includes everything you need to get started with JetBot, excluding a Phillips head screwdriver and an Ubuntu desktop GUI. Please note, running multiple neural networks in parallel may require a full 5V-4A power supply.

The JetBot AI Kit comes with the NVIDIA Jetson Nano 2GB Developer Kit, a 64GB MicroSD card pre-flashed with the SparkFun JetBot image, a Leopard Imaging 136FOV wide-angle camera & ribbon cable, a SparkFun Qwiic Motor Driver, a SparkFun Micro OLED Breakout (Qwiic), and all hardware & prototyping electronics needed to complete your fully functional robot.

The SparkFun JetBot AI Kit features the SparkFun Qwiic ecosystem for I2C communication, which can be expanded using 4x Qwiic connectors on the GPIO header. The kit offers example codes for basic motion, teleoperation, collision avoidance, and object following. It has a compact form factor to optimize the existing neural net from NVIDIA, a 136° FOV camera for machine vision, a pre-flashed microSD card, and a chassis assembly with an expandable architecture.

Please note, a USB keyboard and mouse, a computer display (either HDMI or DP) & connector cable are not included in the kit and will need to be sourced separately.

The SparkFun JetBot AI Kit is an exciting and engaging platform for learning and experimenting with AI. Its user-friendly design and comprehensive features make it an excellent choice for anyone interested in exploring the world of AI and robotics.
