JetBot AI Kit v3.0 (NVIDIA Jetson Nano board not included)

What is JetBot AI Kit v3.0?

It’s a brand-new kit that includes all the hardware and electronic components you’ll need to work on your project. And to get you even more rapidly up and running:

• A 64 GB microSD card pre-flashed with the software, code libraries and the drivers you need to get started with the SparkFun Qwiic ecosystem
• A wide-angle camera
• Motor and WiFi adapters
• A SparkFun Qwiic Micro OLED display

To use your kit, you’ll need a NVIDIA Jetson Nano board, a Jetson Nano Developer Kit and a Phillips head screwdriver. But no need for soldering thanks to Qwiic!

The kit includes version 4.3 of the NVIDIA Jetpack, an SDK designed to make integrating end-to-end AI applications easier.

Machine vision, machine learning, autonomous navigation...

The NVIDIA JetBot open-source platform opens the door to a whole new world of robotic creations, including the construction of complex neural networks. Whether you’re a teacher, researcher, designer or simply an enthusiast, you’ll have access to a complete range of projects integrating machine vision, navigation with obstacle detection, object tracking, etc.
