Hi there,
I am trying to build a robot using rasp pi 5 that can patrol warehouse and detect the hazards. could you please suggest all the parts required including power option for rasp pi 5, sensors, chassis, etc
Thank you
Hey @Ashim278021, welcome to the forums!
That sounds like a pretty neat project! I would start by outlining the main components of your project to try and get a good starting point, something like this:
Objectives
Outline the main point of the project in semi-specific terms, rather than: “I want to detect hazards”, specify; What kind of hazards? How accurate, and how many different kinds? How big should the device be?
Asking yourself these questions can very easily flesh out a project at the start, and get you going in the right direction.
Inputs
Refer to your objectives, what properties of the hazards could be exploited here? What kind of things are you sensing? This can lead you to the types of sensor options available.
Outputs
What is the end goal of the robot? Will it send a signal to shut down machinery? Will it activate an alarm? Will it construct a wall around the hazard? This step will also help structure the device and allow you to gain a deeper understanding of the final product.
Ideally, a large post explaining exactly what you want to achieve and how is the best place to start. If possible, include diagrams, images, comparisons, any additional material to allow others to gain a better idea of your vision.
A question I had in particular: Why have you chosen a Pi5 for this project? Not that there’s anything wrong with using a Pi5, but its possible the result could be achieved with something cheaper, and this way you can get thinking about your design decisions!
Looking forward to seeing a more expansive project brief, happy making!

Hi Zach,
I already have a rasp 5 with me thats why I want to use it and i just want to develop a robot that detects the hazard and sends a notification to your mobile.
For example: Hazards can be something thats blocking the walking path in warehouse or some suspicious individual or body present during night.
I want to create a simple detection robot not too complex please
What you are asking is not impossible.
Where I am at Swinburne Uni, robotics/mechatronics is a complete 4 year Degree all of it’s own. That means, it’s complex with lots of maths. Machine Vision is a Semester all on it’s own.
Not trying to discourage you but what Zach is alluding to is really important. You need to define it in detail according to Zach’s outline (he’s probably been here already!).
Looking forward to your analysis.

Hi Gerard,
Thank you so much for the information.
I am very new to this topics right now and I am not trying to build everything from the scratch. I just need to build a robot using some built in chassis, sensors, cameras and raspberry pi for detecting simple things.
I am not trying to use it in an actual ware house. Its only for my uni curriculum. So it does not need to be sophisticated.
Thank you
Kind regards
Ashim
