Spike and Desk Buddy
A desk robot dog with a face, a memory and a personality. While his body is being built, the same character already lives on Windows and Android.
Designed like a product.
Every board, servo and wire hidden inside a shell modelled part by part in SolidWorks, driven from Python scripts.
Built to move.
Micro servos for the legs and head, a touch-screen face, sensors and a rechargeable battery pack.
The same character, today.
Wake words, memory, alarms and reminders, with his brain on your own computer and conversation through Google Gemini.
What is inside
Honest status: prototypeESP32-S3 boards
A 4.3-inch touch-screen board is the face and the brain, talking to servo drivers and sensors.
Two 18650 cells
A protected battery pack, a fuse and a switch, and 5-volt converters that feed the servos and boards.
Being built now
The app is out. The robot is a prototype on the bench; walking and give-paw are still in development.
