The educational robot that runs the whole stack — NVIDIA Jetson Nano 4GB, dual ROS1 & ROS2, SLAMTEC A1 Lidar, 3D depth camera, five SLAM algorithms and a Mecanum-wheel chassis. From gmapping to ChatGPT, one robot covers your entire syllabus.
Most educational kits teach you one thing. JetAuto teaches you all of it — from ROS fundamentals and SLAM navigation to deep learning inference and multimodal AI conversation.

A SLAMTEC A1 360° Lidar for path planning, a 3D depth camera for point-cloud imaging and RTAB mapping, a 2-DoF pan-tilt camera for FPV and active tracking, plus a 7-inch IPS touchscreen mounted right on the deck so students see RViz live as the robot moves.

Four Mecanum wheels driven by magnetic encoder motors with closed-loop control give JetAuto true omnidirectional movement — forward, sideways, diagonal, in-place rotation. The pendulum suspension keeps traction on uneven lab floors. Perfect odometry feedback for SLAM and autonomous navigation experiments.

TensorRT acceleration on the Jetson Nano runs YOLOv8 object detection, MediaPipe human recognition and gesture control at real-time framerates. A 6-microphone far-field array handles ChatGPT multimodal conversation. TensorFlow, PyTorch and OpenCV are pre-installed and pre-tuned.

Ships with two complete SD card images: Ubuntu 18.04 + ROS1 Noetic for classical robotics coursework, and Ubuntu 20.04 + ROS2 for modern industry practice. Five SLAM algorithms — Gmapping, Hector, Karto, Cartographer, RRT — with TEB path planning. All source code is open-source, annotated Python.
Every hardware detail — six product-photography angles.
Full hardware and software configuration — everything that ships in the box.
Specs per Hiwonder 2026 datasheet. GeM listing, KYC, training and pan-India delivery on enquiry. Educational-institution pricing available.
The Hiwonder curriculum maps cleanly onto a 6-stage robotics course — every module has open-source Python, video tutorials and hands-on projects.

The robot Indian engineering colleges, research labs and competition teams reach for first.
ROS syllabus, SLAM lab, deep-learning module — JetAuto covers a full BTech / MTech robotics elective in one platform.
SLAM development, path planning research, sim-to-real experiments with Gazebo and open Jetson APIs.
Autonomous navigation, object detection and multi-point path planning — competition-ready out of the box.
ChatGPT multimodal + YOLOv8 + MediaPipe on-device inference — classroom-scale experiments in embodied intelligence.
Yes — JetAuto ships with both ROS1 Noetic and ROS2 pre-configured, open-source annotated Python code, five SLAM algorithms and complete video tutorials. Most Indian BTech / MTech robotics electives can adopt it as their primary lab platform with zero setup time.
The Standard Kit with Jetson Nano 4GB is Hiwonder’s core educational platform — the perfect balance of compute, sensors and price for teaching labs. Advanced and Pro tiers add higher-end Jetson modules (Orin Nano / NX), robotic-arm attachments and industrial-grade Lidar. Contact us for the ladder-comparison and quote.
All Hiwonder source code ships in open-source, annotated Python — ideal for teaching. ROS itself supports C++ nodes too, so advanced students can drop into C++ once they’re comfortable. xBoom provides onboarding and a code-walkthrough session at delivery.
Five 2D SLAM algorithms — Gmapping, Hector, Karto, Cartographer and RRT — plus RTAB 3D SLAM using the depth camera. TEB path planning is supported for multi-point autonomous navigation. Every algorithm has ready-to-run launch files and a lesson in the video curriculum.
Yes — JetAuto ships with a ChatGPT multimodal integration and a 6-microphone far-field array for voice conversation. YOLOv8 vision and MediaPipe gesture recognition run locally on the Jetson Nano with TensorRT acceleration. Bring your own OpenAI API key or use an on-device LLM.
Yes — we offer bulk pricing for colleges and universities, GST-compliant invoicing, GeM listing where required, and government-tender documentation. Ask for the institution price sheet when you send your enquiry.
Manufacturer warranty plus the 1-Year xBoom AMC. We include remote onboarding, a ROS-walkthrough session, and access to the full Hiwonder video curriculum. On-site training and workshop packages are available for departments and clubs — ask when you quote.
