Robot arms are great for learning STEM concepts. The Hiwonder ArmPi Ultra is a Raspberry Pi 5 powered ROS 2 robot that relies on ChatGPT and smart vision to understand its surroundings and reason. It is capable of object tracking, grabbing and sorting. By playing around with this, students will learn about OpenCV, YOLOv8, MediaPipe, and AI models.
This robot has an all-metal structure. It relies on the WonderEcho Pro voice box for speech recognition and voice control. With its vision language model, it can identify and locate objects. It uses YOLOv8 for real-time multi-object detection. ArmPi Ultra has PC, smartphone and joystick control. It supports GAZEBO simulation. You can find out more here.
