ROS Educational Robot Kit

The Yahboom Transbot is a programmable robot kit built on the ROS framework for students, hobbyists and researchers learning robotics from scratch. It combines a tracked chassis with an Astra Pro 3D camera and Silan A1 lidar to enable hands-on development of mapping, navigation and AI vision projects. The open-source codebase supports experimentation with RViz, TF and Qt tools in a real-world hardware platform.

Mapping Navigation and AI Vision Capacity

The integrated Silan A1 lidar performs 2D plane scanning for simultaneous localisation and mapping, allowing single-point and multi-point navigation with obstacle avoidance. The Astra Pro 3D camera adds depth perception for colour recognition, AR tag detection, face detection and visual tracking. Onboard compute handles these combined workloads for indoor autonomous driving demos, though processing headroom is limited to the Raspberry Pi host and may constrain complex multi-sensor fusion or high-resolution point-cloud tasks.

Thermals Noise and Power in Normal Use

The tracked drivetrain and lidar module draw continuous power during mapping and navigation routines, so sustained operation relies on the Raspberry Pi power supply and battery capacity chosen by the builder. Motor and lidar activity produce audible mechanical noise typical of small crawler platforms, while the Pi board generates modest heat under CV and ROS node loads; no active cooling is included, so extended heavy workloads may require external thermal management.

Questions about this item

Will the Silan A1 lidar on the Transbot still map correctly if I keep using my older Raspberry Pi 3B instead of a Pi 4?

The kit is designed around ROS tools such as Rviz and Navigation that run on the Raspberry Pi; a Pi 3B can execute the stack but 2D mapping and real-time path planning will run slower than on a Pi 4 due to the older CPU and lower memory bandwidth.

How can I confirm the Astra Pro 3D camera and lidar are both publishing data after I assemble the Transbot?

Launch the ROS nodes on the Raspberry Pi, open Rviz on a connected PC, and verify that the /scan topic shows a rotating laser fan while the /camera/depth/image_raw topic displays a live depth stream.

Does the Transbot kit include the Raspberry Pi board and micro-SD card, or do I need to buy them separately?

The package contains the crawler chassis, Silan A1 lidar, Astra Pro 3D camera, robotic arm, battery, charger and structural parts; a Raspberry Pi board and micro-SD card are not included and must be purchased separately.
