Product Description
miniAuto — Open-source AI Vision Mecanum-Wheel Car
Vision Tracking | Distance-Measuring Obstacle Avoidance | Embodied AI | Voice Interaction
miniAuto is an open-source AI vision mecanum-wheel car with 360° omnidirectional movement.
Arduino-compatible, powered by the ESP32-S3 vision module, it supports vision tracking, distance-measuring obstacle avoidance, embodied AI and voice interaction, with 40+ lessons and a 220+ page development manual, fully open-sourced.
To build a more professional educational robot for users of all ages!
High-performance hardware configuration:
The miniAuto flagship version is equipped with high-performance hardware such as an AI large model module, RGB ultrasonic ranging module, anti-jamming mechanical claw and four-channel line-following sensors, with rich expansion interfaces for secondary development.
Its compact size fulfills your big imagination for a vision car!
Multimodal AI large model
The AI large model module of the miniAuto flagship version is deeply developed based on the AI Xiaozhi platform, integrating AI vision and voice systems and combining text, voice and vision models to enable human-like dialogue and control.
It supports embodied AI play such as intelligent carrying and smart home monitoring, bringing users a creative interactive experience!
Dual firmware system
The flagship AI large model module of miniAuto features a dual-firmware system: the AI large model firmware and the offline AI vision module firmware.
This enables the module to function not only as an AI large model module but also to transform into an offline AI vision module, supporting offline AI vision features such as target tracking and visual line-following.
Full-stack open-source courses
miniAuto supports Arduino programming, providing 40+ course materials, 30 real-person video tutorials and 220+ PDF experiment examples, integrating AI vision and AI large model algorithms, with open source code and schematics, providing a full-stack development platform for embedded development!
Functional Features
360° omnidirectional movement, fun in all directions:
The omnidirectional mecanum wheels enable miniAuto to move 360° with multiple cool motion modes (forward, lateral, diagonal and rotation).
Its excellent maneuverability allows it to easily challenge various complex routes.
High-performance vision module (Standard & Deluxe):
miniAuto is equipped with the ESP32-S3 high-performance vision module, supporting not only Wi-Fi image streaming but also AI functions such as color recognition, color tracking, face recognition and vision line following. Official source code is provided for development and learning!
With 40+ course materials and 30+ video lessons.
WiFi real-time image streaming：
Through the integrated ESP32-S3 vision module, miniAuto supports dual-mode network communication.
Via WiFi hotspot connection, users can use the mobile APP or PC to access the specified URL and monitor the HD camera image streaming in real time.
Ultrasonic distance-measuring obstacle avoidance：
miniAuto is equipped with a glowing ultrasonic sensor for distance measurement, obstacle avoidance and following.
Through the mobile APP, the avoidance distance and glow color can be adjusted in real time for precise environmental perception and response.
Four-channel line following
miniAuto is equipped with a four-channel line-following sensor.
With 4 sets of infrared sensors detecting lines, it can realize line following, edge detection and intersection recognition.
AI Vision Project
miniAuto can be equipped with the ESP32-S3 high-performance vision module, supporting AI functions such as Wi-Fi image streaming, face recognition, color recognition/tracking and line following, with source code provided for easy development and learning!
Color tracking: Through programming, miniAuto can capture objects of different colors and execute preset programs, enabling real-time locking and tracking of targets.
Vision line following: Through the integrated ESP32-S3 vision module, miniAuto can recognize different colored lines and automatically follow their paths to achieve vision line following.
Traffic light recognition: Through color threshold segmentation algorithms, miniAuto can accurately recognize traffic light colors. Combined with the four-channel line-following sensors, it can realize more interesting autonomous driving projects.
Face recognition:
Through a lightweight convolutional neural network algorithm, miniAuto can recognize faces within its field of view and call the corresponding preset programs.
Application
Remote-controlled carrying: Through the APP, you can not only control the robot's omnidirectional movement, but also easily control grabbing and carrying objects.
Line-following carrying: Combined with the 4-channel knob line-following sensors, miniAuto can detect and clamp obstacles while following the line.
Vision-based carrying: Combined with the ESP32-S3 vision module, miniAuto can accurately recognize and carry target color blocks.
