Anyone who has ever had the opportunity to build their own mini robot from scratch, probably remembers very well the problems they had to face during the self-assembly of the mechanics - the base, drives or housing. Fitting all the elements available at hand is rarely possible without additional workshop procedures, which not only complicates self-assembly but also affects the accuracy of individual details. Waveshare mini robots in the form of kits to assemble will allow you to get on with what you are most interested in - programming.

Open design that unleashes creativity
Waveshare products lets you easily assemble the finished chassis and basic electronics yourself and quickly move on to programming the controller. Waveshare robots are characterized by a very simple design - the circuit boards that form the basis of the control electronics are at the same time the carrier boards on which the mechanical structure is based. Such a solution allows to keep a very favorable price of the kits, and at the same time works perfectly in practice - the structure is rigid enough, and at the same time lightweight, to cope with all the tasks you will put before your robot. Our store offers a wide range of Waveshare robots, but if you want to enhance your robot with components that are not in the original kit - you can easily find the necessary components in other categories. The robots are easy to modify and expand, giving you endless opportunities to experiment and have fun.
Thinking robots? Why not!
With Waveshare robots you can build remote-controlled vehicles that follow commands from an attached IR remote control or full-fledged robots that automatically follow a line on the ground or avoid obstacles in unfamiliar terrain. For many tasks Arduino Uno based controllers will be enough, but if you want to give your constructions the ability to think for themselves, a powerful Raspberry Pi Zero minicomputer can easily handle even more complex tasks. What's more, if you've long dreamed of having your own mobile robot with a camera, capable of exploring its surroundings and relaying video of its mission - you've come to the right place, as we have several Waveshare AlphaBot remote-controlled camera models ready to work with the Raspberry Pi.
Make your dream come true
The clever design makes it easy for robots to look around their surroundings. The camera is not rigidly fixed to the base - it has been equipped with a two-axis head, allowing it to rotate horizontally and vertically. Miniature servos are responsible for camera movement, which makes position control simple and does not require the use of additional encoders. The integration of the Raspberry Pi minicomputer with the on-board electronics allows you to use the images coming from the camera as an additional (or even main) source of information. Your mini robots will not be just another vehicle carrying a camera on its "back", but will become autonomous units with a vision system, ready to program complex tasks.
