Powered by an Arduino UNO Q, the open source robot combines three servos, a camera, distance sensing, sound, and an animated display into a small platform for experimenting with robotics and computer vision. It can even run vision models that let it recognize objects sitting in front of it and respond with its own combination of movements, sounds, and animations.
The robot's body consists of 3D-printable parts that house the UNO Q and the rest of the electronics. Servos enable movement, with one rotating the head and the other two controlling the arms. The servos use a separate external power supply, rather than drawing their power from the UNO Q. A camera mounted in the head connects through a USB-C hub and gives JBR-001 a...
