Description

TurtlePi is designed as a learning and research-experimenting robotics kit.
It can be used for students from 12 year old to universities and colleges.
kit is entirely modular, wide variety of sensors can be connected easily as a modules and
actuators presented as a modules too. Robot contains two main board one is Arduino
compatible control board and another is raspberry pi computer, Arduino control board is
designed as shield for Raspberry Pi.

Details

On this picture you can see Raspberry Pi computer with arduino control board. (control board is a hand made 2 layer board, sorry for this terrible work.)

Arduino board can be used as standalone control board, without Raspberry Pi computer and can perform low level tasks such as path planning, obstacle avoidance, line following, remote control. In addition with Raspberry Pi computer, robot gets much more complex functionality such as: object/face recognition, speech synthesis, Speech Recognition, dynamic programming and etc.
robotics kit can be controlled and programmed wirelessly, In final design, robotics kit can be programmed with wide variety programming languages (python, javascript, c, c++, perl, c#) and visual languages like Google Blockly and Scratch.
