It is meant as a low-cost tool for robotics software developers, and for human-robot speech interaction developers. The robot's plastic parts can be downloaded and 3D printed with FDM (hobby) printers. The other parts are common components - such as servo motors and cameras and electronics - that can be purchased over the internet and delivered the next day. The robot is controlled by a choice of Raspberry Pi 5, or a Jetson [Orin] Nano. This embedded device may then interface with a smart phone, and other computer(s) on the cloud.

Wearable technology offers some real benefits when it comes to interactive feedback. Whether for the allures of health or enhancing communication, these devices can track data continuously, giving you real-time insights. I’ve been diving into this space with two key projects. First is aWear, an open-source wearable cardiac monitor, and second is The Feedback Loop, an interactive game designed to teach about homeostasis. Both of these projects reflect my growing passion for combining hardware and biomedical technology, and they’re just the beginning. I’m always excited to chat about hardware and biomedical technology, so feel free to check out my website to see more of what I’ve been working on!
