Important
Our robot solutions are designed to be safe for use on a table. However, we strongly recommend testing in a safe, obstacle-free environment to ensure smooth operation.
Warning
While tabletop testing is generally safe, make sure there is enough space for the robot to move, and handle it carefully when driving to avoid accidents.
Room Mapping Starter
Create a 2D map of your environment using the short-range LiDAR and EZ-Map software. Ideal for learning SLAM basics.
Obstacle Avoidance
Program the Magni 6 Mini to navigate around obstacles using the short-range LiDAR for proximity detection. Perfect for beginners experimenting with autonomous navigation.
Live Video Patrol
Use the Raspberry Pi Camera to stream live video, turning the Magni 6 Mini into a mobile surveillance bot. Great for remote monitoring.
