Product Summary
The Hiwonder AiNova is an educational robot car designed for learning AI (Artificial Intelligence) and programming. It is powered by a CoreX controller (based on ESP32) and supports Scratch (graphical programming) and Python.
The Standard Kit is the intermediate option. Its key differentiator from the "Starter Kit" is the inclusion of the WonderCam AI Vision Module, which enables advanced AI functions like face tracking, color recognition, and tag following.

Key Features of the Standard Kit
- AI Vision Capabilities: Thanks to the WonderCam, this kit can perform:
Color Tracking: Follows specific colors.
Tag Tracking: Recognizes and follows AprilTags.
Vision Line Following: Uses the camera to follow lines instead of just the IR sensors.
Face Recognition: Detects and tracks faces. - Programming:
Scratch: Block-based coding perfect for beginners.
Python: Text-based coding for advanced users (MicroPython). - Control: Can be controlled via a mobile app (iOS/Android) or PC.
Difference from other kits:
- Starter Kit: Does not include the WonderCam AI Vision Module (cannot do vision/camera tasks).
- Auto Driving Kit: Includes everything in the Standard Kit plus extra map props (traffic lights, road signs) for simulating a city driving environment.
