# JetBot — NVIDIA Jetson AI Rover JetBot is an open-source AI robot platform built on the NVIDIA Jetson Nano. It combines a small two-wheeled chassis with a Jetson Nano compute module, a wide-angle camera, and the full NVIDIA JetPack SDK — enabling object following, collision avoidance, and road-following using convolutional neural networks trained with Jupyter notebooks. JetBot is NVIDIA's official introductory robotics platform, making it one of the most well-documented and widely-built AI robots for beginners and educators. ## Hardware - NVIDIA Jetson Nano Developer Kit (4GB or 2GB) - Compatible chassis kit (e.g. SparkFun JetBot Kit or Waveshare JetBot Kit) - Wide-angle USB or CSI camera - Adafruit Motor FeatherWing or equivalent - LiPo battery pack - microSD card (32 GB+) ## What It Can Do - **Object following** — tracks a sport ball or colored object using a CNN trained in-browser with Jupyter - **Collision avoidance** — learns to navigate around obstacles via a head-mounted classifier - **Road following** — stays on a track by regressing a steering angle from a front camera - **Teleoperation** — browser gamepad control via the interactive widget interface ## Source - Repo: https://github.com/NVIDIA-AI-IOT/jetbot - License: MIT - Docs: https://jetbot.org
