Hiwonder MentorPi is an advanced smart robot car powered by Raspberry Pi 5 and fully compatible with ROS2. It features a modular design, with both Mecanum-wheel and Ackermann-wheel chassis options. Equipped with high-speed closed-loop encoder motors, Lidar, a 3D depth camera, and high-torque servos—MentorPi car enables core AI functions like SLAM mapping, path planning, and autonomous driving. It uses YOLOv5 to detect road signs and traffic lights.
MentorPi M1 robot also includes a Multimodal Large AI Model to support advanced Embodied AI. We provide comprehensive tutorials and videos to help you get started on your creative projects.
3D Depth CameraThe 3D depth camera enables key AI functions, including 3D visual mapping and navigation, giving the robot a deeper understanding of its environment. |
Raspberry Pi 5 ControllerPowered by Raspberry Pi 5, MentorPi is your platform for motion control, machine vision, and OpenCV projects. |
STL-19P TOF LidarThe integrated Lidar allows for SLAM mapping, path planning, and dynamic obstacle avoidance, helping the MentorPi robot navigate any space with ease. |
High Performance Encoder MotorThese motors provide robust power and precision. With a high-quality encoder and durable shell, they're built to last. |

Function List

Large AI Model Integration for SLAM Navigation





Color Recognition and TrackingWorking with OpenCV, MentorPi can track specific color. After you select the color on the APP, it emits light of corresponding color and moves with the object of that color. |
Target TrackingThrough vision positioning of the target object, the target object can be better targeted and tracked. |
QR Code RecognitionMentorPi can recognize the content of custom QR codes and display the decoded information. |
Vision Line TrackingMentorPi supports custom color selection, and the robot can identify color lines and track them. |






App ControlWonderPi app supports Android and iOS. Switch game modes easily and quickly to experience various AI games. |
Wireless Handle ControlMentorPi supports wireless handle control and can connect to the robot via Bluetooth to control the robot in real time. |
ROS Robot Operating System
Global Popular Robotic Communication Framework
ROS is an open-source meta operating system for robots. It provides some basic services, such as hardware abstraction, low-level device control, implementation of commonly used functionality, message-passing between processes, and package management. And it also offers the tools and library functions needed to obtain, compile, write, and run code across computers. It aims at providing code reuse support for robotics research and development.
