MentorPi M1 Enables Autonomous Robot Car Prototype

This guide shows how to build an autonomous car prototype using Hiwonder's MentorPi M1 kit, which integrates a Raspberry Pi 5, LiDAR, 3D depth camera and a ROS2 Humble software stack. It steps through sensor setup, SLAM mapping, Navigation2 autonomous navigation, and YOLOv5 traffic sign recognition, enabling developers to rapidly prototype mapping, obstacle avoidance, and vision-driven behaviors.
