PikaBot - Maker UNO Smart Car Kit
https://youtu.be/X6qFEwy2X2w
New to Mobile Robot & Coding?
Don't worry! This kit comes with a booklet covering all the hands-on lessons you need to get started. Every step is explained clearly with the help of images. We make sure that the common issues when building and coding the Arduino mobile robot are properly addressed in this booklet. Besides it comes with fun facts to feed the curious minds too.
No Soldering! Just Jumper Wires
There is no soldering involved in order for more young makers to take part in the building process. To make things even simpler, the detailed schematic diagram and mounting location of the parts are printed inside the box. Hence you can build and connect with greater confidence as you embark on this digital making journey.
This mobile robot kit is based on Maker UNO (Arduino Uno compatible).
Box = Mobile Robot Base
We designed the packaging box of PikaBot to be reusable. Not only that it's used for packing the complete set of components needed for the project, it serves as the robot base and cover of your PikaBot mobile robot too.
Line Following & Obstacle Avoidance
What can your PikaBot do? It can follow line, simple yet practical navigation that is widely used in AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) and many robot competition. The kit comes with a pair of infrared sensors which you can calibrate & program to recognize black and white surfaces. PikaBot also includes an ultrasonic distance sensor so it can detect obstacles in front of it.
mBlock Graphical Programming Interface
Besides using the Arduino IDE as taught in our user guide booklet, you can also program PikaBot with mBlock block-based programmming interface. Check out this tutorial to learn more.

With the beginner-friendly Maker UNO as the controller, everyone can build and program this mobile robot. We have also included
- Dual-channel motor driver - Maker Drive
- Two "TT" brush motor with pre-solder wires
- 4 x AA battery to power the controller and motor
- Of course, it comes with two IR Line Tracking Module for line following
- An Ultrasonic Distance Sensor for obstacle avoidance
- Accessories for the smart car to work :)
- Everything is packed in a nicely designed paper box which will be utilized as the base of the mobile robot too
To make life even easier, we have prepared:
- A printed copy of Step by Step Guide for you to build this kit (Softcopy here)
- Sample code for line following, obstacle avoidance and melody in Arduino Sketch in Github (coming soon)
- Video to assemble the robot is in the making, check it out
Line Following Track for line following.
