1.2 About PiCar-X
The PiCar-X is an AI-controlled self-driving robot car for the Raspberry Pi platform, upon which the Raspberry Pi acts
as the control center. The PiCar-X’s 2-axis camera module, ultrasonic module, and line tracking modules can provide
the functions of color/face/traffic signs detection, automatic obstacle avoidance, automatic line tracking, etc.
With the SunFounder-designed Robot HAT board, the PiCar-X integrates left/right driving motors, servo motors for
steering and the camera’s pan/tilt functions, and pre-sets the Robot HAT’s ADC, PWM, and Digital I2C pins to
allow for extensions to the standard functionality of the Raspberry Pi. Both a speaker and a bluetooth chip have
been engineered into the Robot HAT for remote control of Text-to-Speech, sound effects, or even background music
functionality.
All of the PiCar-X functions, including GPIO control, computer vision, and deep learning, are implemented through
the open sourced Python programming language, OpenCV’s Computer Vision Library software, and Google’s Tensor-
Flow for deep learning frameworks. Other software has been included to optimize the PiCar-X capabilities, allowing
the user a near-limitless learning environment.
