Advanced Human-Robot interaction is also useful in everyday life.

Special features

• The JetRacer Pro Al Kit autonomous racing vehicle is capable of driving itself in a defined area.
• It has the ability to learn deep (Deep Learning), thanks to the use of a neural network and the use of the Open Source DonkeyCar package.
• It collects data on the route it moves on using a camera connected to a minicomputer - each subsequent drive along this route causes the database to expand with more information and thus allows the robot to move around this environment on its own.
• It meets the needs of verification of scientific research algorithms in various fields, such as Lidar mapping, SLAM mapping, autonomous navigation, target detection, speech processing, and facial recognition.
• It supports Gmapping, Hector, Karto and Cartographer mapping algorithms
• Human-Robot speech interaction - supports speech synthesis, detection and recognition, and real-time speech transmission between the computer and the robot enables two-way remote communication

Based on ROS

It was developed based on ROS (Robot Operation System) - an open source operating system that includes a collection of software libraries and tools for designing robots. It provides services expected from an operating system, including hardware abstraction, lower-tier device control, implementation of common functions, inter-process messaging, and package management. ROS simplifies robot design and is the mainstream of robotic software in the world.

I2C Slave Mode Control

The JetRacer ROS AI Kit is an autonomous Al racing vehicle powered by the Nvidia Jetson Nano. Thanks to interactive programming via a web browser, it enables high frame rate processing, which allows you to easily achieve faster autonomous line driving.
