Reminds me of Disney's robots

Interesting that they're using Dynamixel instead of Feetech for the servos. More expensive but better quality. I'm surprised it still comes in under $400.

All AI images, a robot with no arms. Please improve on both. I will happily train one to pick things up and away with and after kids.

Just use the beak?

I would like it to pick up shoes, clothes etc. Not sure the beak would work, it would block the camera and prevent the bot from walking forward. Presumably, it could walk backwards and drag clothes, but anything rigid might block the camera.

This looks really cool! The cuteness of the demo alone makes me want one. Ideally I would also love for it to have a real use case in my home but right now I really cant think of one.

I couldn’t find hardware open source. If only I could 3d print and build it myself, that would be hell of a project.

Did anyone get programming in the simulator to work?

And why don't they show the video feed as seen by the camera?

Does it work locally? I don't want to have a camera robot in child's room

Yes! At least Reachy can be run fully offline so don’t see why Ducky can’t

i wonder if this is the reason why those little dynamixel motors have been out of stock for months. (i use them in my robots at tapster.)
