What's in the Box

Make A Self Driving Car

Implement your self-driving, advanced map & story based projects or use in robotics competitions.

MARK is designed in the form of a car, so we'll preload code which allows you to implement basic self-driving car functionality once everything is assembled and connected. Scroll down for a project video of the self driving function.

Interactive & Engaging through AI Recognition

Mark comes pre-loaded with functionality to recognise colors, shapes and the objects within these categories. But of course you should train your own custom models! We provide a colab notebook to guide you through this process. Scroll down to check out a video of MARK interacting with Pet animals.

On Device Model Training

Simple custom classifier models can be trained on MARK through data collection via the onboard camera, automatic data processing & model traning by the CyberEye (brains of the MARK), and model deployment directly on MARK which can be saved for reuse on SD card.

Interactive with the external world

Aside from the obvious camera sensor, there is an ultrasonic sensor included for collision avoidance, a button which you can program to change modes, and an electromagnet which gives MARK a "pick up" function. Simply attach metallic stickers (included in pack) on the back of an image card.

Hands On from Construction to Coding

For a Hands on construction experience, MARK will come disassembled in parts with the tools you need to make your robot.

**Accessible Yet Intelligent

** We want AI learning to be accessible to those from a variety of backgrounds so you'll be able to code MARK graphically by dragging and dropping code blocks.

Codecraft is a graphical programming software based on Scratch 3.0, developed by us which is available on desktop & in-browser. Codecraft will support MARK AI functions in drag and drop code, as well as enabling you to see what the MicroPython code would look like. Simply connect and then click upload to start using your MARK with it's edited program. If you're confident with your coding skills you can also go ahead and edit text-based Python code in Codecraft. You can even use your own custom models through Codecraft.

**Supports Micropython

** MaixPyIDE from SIPEED - More advanced users can choose to directly write code for MARK using MaixPyIDE. The cyberEYE mainboard's K210 chip has Microython firmware which features openMV support..

**Customizable, Extendable & Open Source

** Extend with our extension packs (available soon), or DIY. 3D print your own cover to customize MARK into whatever color you like. Add structural modifications onto the Chassis which includes multiple attachment points.

*note grabber, slingshot attachment shown in images above are not included in Make A Robot Kit.

**multiple color choices are not available for purchase, but STL files for 3D FDM printing with pla colors will be provided

**This kit is suitable for:

** Maker teachers / high school students / homeschooling educators / STEM camps / AI experimenters / AI & robotics learners
