The Kitronik Autonomous Robotics Platform Pico, a fun and hands-on introduction to Robotics with the
Raspberry Pi Pico.
The Kitronik Autonomous Robotics Platform for Raspberry Pi Pico is a fun and hands-on introduction to
buggy robotics. The easy to follow booklet provided with the kit guides you through all of the steps
required for you to take control of your robot. The Robotics Platform has been designed to grow with
you and provided additional servo and ultrasonic sensor connectors for more advanced projects. This
buggy requires a Raspberry Pi Pico with pin headers.
The kit is supplied with the autonomous robotics platform chassis, 2 wheels and tyres, a Kitronik line-
following sensor board, and an ultrasonic sensor. The kit requires no soldering and only minimal
mechanical assembly. Fit the tyres to the wheels, push the wheels onto the pre-mounted motors and
both the line following sensor and ultrasonic distance sensor plug straight into the board. Once put
together, push the Raspberry Pi Pico into the onboard connector, add 4 x Alkaline AA batteries to the
battery holders underneath and you are done. Your robot buggy is ready for instruction.

The included booklet guides you through every step of getting to know your robot. It contains a detailed
assembly guide, info on preparing the Raspberry Pi Pico, instructions for installing an editor (Thonny),
and instructions on how to write code for every feature of the Robotics Platform. No corner of the board
is left unexplained.
As well as the easy to follow getting started guide, we have also produced online tutorials which go into
more detail on coding the key features of the board. The links to the tutorials can be found in the
resources section at the foot of this page.
To help make programming the robot as simple as possible, Kitronik has developed a set of Micropython
modules. More information on this can be found in the booklet supplied with the kit. If you aren't
familiar with GIT, we've created an online beginners guide to help you get up to speed.
