# Claude drives a robot

Claude Code, run from a laptop, controlled a PiCar-X robot with a camera and distance sensor through terminal commands, using photos to navigate.

Result: The robot navigated, scanned rooms, kept memory notes, and published a patrol field journal, but spent 15 minutes parking at the wrong door.

## How it was set up

Claude Code and Claude Desktop on a laptop control a Raspberry Pi robot kit (SunFounder PiCar-X) over the terminal, using its camera and ultrasonic sensor. Existing MCPs, skills and memory carry over.

## Worth knowing

Spatial reasoning was weak and slow. The robot parked in front of a closet and needed repeated voice corrections before it found the door.

## Evidence note

Author's video, GitHub repo, and a live patrol journal page
