Product Description
The Navigational Robot – Car-1 (Sensors) is designed to bridge the gap between learning sensors and building real autonomous robots.
Fully assembled and ready to run, Car-1 integrates IR sensors, an ultrasonic sensor, DC motors, a steering servo, and a UK-engineered motor controller board into a clean, robust robotic platform — eliminating wiring complexity and setup friction.
With real-time feedback displayed on the onboard OLED screen, students learn to debug, refine, and optimise navigation algorithms exactly as they would on real robotics systems.
Paired with a controlled boundary-wall arena, Car-1 enables students to test and compare multiple navigation behaviours, laying a strong foundation for advanced autonomous robots in the ZAS series.
