The Raspberry Pi Pico might be small, but it sure can drive some big ideas. Today we’ve got a cool surveillance robot to share with you, created by maker and developer Mohammad Reza Sharifi. If that name sounds familiar, it’s because we’ve featured plenty of his work in the past, including this PS4 controller-operated drone and this robotic car that uses OpenCV to read hand gestures for steering.
In this project, he’s using a system called LabVIEW that makes it easy to design custom interfaces and programs with visual assets. The robot has a custom-made chassis and four wheels. It’s fitted with a smartphone on the front for a live video feed. All of these can be operated using a custom GUI Sharifi created using LabVIEW.
