PicoGo Mobile Robot

a smart mobile robot based on Raspberry Pi Pico

Product Features

Smart robot is always the favorite project of electronic enthusiasts, and there've been several robots based on Raspberry Pi Zero W, 3B+, 4B in Waveshare's product line. Now, here comes the Pico version: PicoGo!

The PicoGo is a smart mobile robot based on Raspberry Pi Pico, it includes ultrasonic module, LCD module, Bluetooth module, line following module, and obstacle avoidance module, all these functions are highly integrated for easily achieving IR obstacle avoidance, auto line following, Bluetooth/IR remote control, and more. With various advanced features, it will help you fast get started with smart robot design and development.

PicoGo smart mobile robot features:

• Standard Raspberry Pi Pico header, supports Raspberry Pi Pico series
• Battery protection circuit: over charge/discharge protection, over current protection, short circuit protection, reverse proof, more stable and safe operating
• Recharge/Discharge circuit, allows programming/debugging concurrently while recharging
• 5-ch infrared sensor, analog output, combined with PID algorithm, stable line tracking
• Onboard multiple smart robot sensors like line tracking, obstacle avoidance, no more messy wiring
• 1.14inch IPS colorful LCD display, 240 x135 pixels, 65K colors
• Integrates Bluetooth module, allows teleoperations like robot movement, RGB LED display color, buzzer, etc. by using mobile phone APP
• N20 micro gearmotors, with metal gears, low noise, high accuracy
• Colorful RGB LED, pretty cool!

* the Raspberry Pi Pico is optional.

No More Messy Wiring

Longer Battery Life, More Protections

Powered by 2x 14500 Li-ion batteries (NOT included), supports running while recharging, with multiple battery protection circuits including over charge/discharge protection, over current protection, short circuit protection, and reverse proof, together with battery life indicator and battery voltage monitor, more stable and safe operating

Full Functionality
Various Ways To Release Your Creativity

IR obstacle avoidance

The module sends IR beam and detects objects by receiving the reflected IR beam, to easily avoid obstacles in the way.

Auto line following

Features 5-ch IR detector for sensing and analysing the black line, combined with PID algorithm for adjusting robot movement, high sensitivity, stable tracking.

Ultrasonic sensor

Ultrasonic is generally faster and easy-to-calculate, suitable for functions like real time control, and obstacle avoidance, with the industrial practical ranging accuracy, it is widely used on robot research and development.

Object tracking

The robot is able to detect front object by ultrasonic or IR, and keeps moving to track the target automatically

IR remote control

Integrates IR receiver, so that you can control the robot to move or turn direction by sending infrared light from the remote controller

Bluetooth remote control

Comes with mobile phone APP, allows you to use the phone to control the movement of the robot, or control its peripherals like changing LED color, making the buzzer to sound, etc.
