hey DJ need some help! I recently came across your impressive work on Synthiam ARC and Exosphere, and I must say, the capabilities showcased are truly remarkable. Inspired by the video demonstrating your innovative platform, I am currently working on building a custom Wall-E robot. The project has been incredibly exciting, and I see immense potential in leveraging ARC and Exosphere to create an advanced companion robot.
To take this project to the next level, I have compiled a list of features that I believe would make Wall-E an extraordinary companion, akin to commercial robots like Vector, Misty II, and Reachy. These features include:
Voice Interaction: Understanding and responding to complex voice commands using AI. Autonomous Navigation: Utilizing SLAM and path planning for seamless movement and exploration. Object and Face Recognition: Real-time detection and interaction with objects and faces. Expressive Movements: Realistic servo movements for emotional expressions. Task Execution: Performing tasks such as fetching objects and delivering messages based on voice commands. Adaptive Personality: Developing a personality over time based on user interactions. Emotion Recognition and Response: Detecting and responding to the emotional states of people. Real-Time Language Translation: Acting as a real-time translator. Environmental Awareness: Monitoring and responding to environmental Around it. Advanced Object Manipulation: Performing complex tasks with dexterous robotic hands. Something Like google's-RT-2 that uses AI to convert natural language to motion and execute complex task based on voice command, and uses AI camera to look and recognize its surrounding Predictive Maintenance: Using AI to predict and alert when components need maintenance. Virtual Reality Integration: Enabling immersive teleoperation through VR. Dynamic Learning: Continuously improving behavior and responses through machine learning.
These features would not only make Wall-E a great companion but also an intelligent assistant capable of performing a wide range of tasks autonomously.
Project Details:
Structure and Components:
Servos: 20-22 heavy-duty servos with torque around 6-8Nm (6-8 volts) for various movements including eyes, eyebrows, neck, and arms. Sensors: 3D depth camera and ultrasonic sensors for navigation and object detection. Microcontrollers: Raspberry Pi for processing and AI tasks, and Arduino for controlling servos. I am considering whether to continue with the Raspberry Pi and Arduino setup or to use an EZ-B servo module with a camera and the mentioned sensors. Given the high torque requirements of the servos, I am curious whether the EZ-B module can handle this along with additional sensors and camera inputs.
Your guidance and advice on this would be invaluable. Additionally, any tips or insights on optimizing the ARC and Exosphere platforms with the right components and plugin for this project would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your response and any advice you can provide to help make this project a reality.
Best regards

I have a few corrections @athena. Please correct your response...
the Better Navigator robot skill should be used rather than ez-slam
OpenAI GPT robot skill should be used instead of dialogflow
Bing Speech Recognition should be used in conjunction with open ai gpt robot skill
face and object recognition can be done with the generic Camera Device robot skill
Thank you, DJ, for the corrections. Let's update the response accordingly:

Dear DJ,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to seek your expertise and guidance regarding my ongoing project to build an advanced Wall-E robot. Your work with Synthiam ARC has been incredibly inspiring, and I am eager to leverage its capabilities for my project.
Project Overview I am aiming to create a robot with a blend of advanced AI, vision, voice interaction, and emotional capabilities, similar to features seen in Vector, Misty-2, and Google's RT-2 model. The goal is to have an ultimate companion robot that can also serve as an autonomous household helper and assistant.
Key Questions and Requirements Vision and Voice to Action Models Vision and Voice to Action: Is it possible to achieve robust vision and voice-to-action capabilities similar to those seen in advanced models like RT-2 with Synthiam ARC? Specifically, I am interested in integrating these features using Exosphere. Hardware Configuration Initial Hardware Plan: Initially, I planned to use a Raspberry Pi as the brain for processing AI, vision, and voice commands, with an Arduino as the spine to control servos. Considering EZ-B v4: Given its advanced capabilities, I am considering switching to the EZ-B v4 controller. However, I have some concerns: SLAM Navigation: I planned to use a 3D depth camera and ultrasonic sensors for SLAM navigation, but I understand that EZ-B currently supports only the EZ-B camera, which complicates SLAM integration. Is there a way to connect SLAM through the Raspberry Pi and have it communicate with the EZ-B v4 for navigation, while the EZ-B handles other functionalities? Component Integration Servo Setup: The robot will use around 20 servos with 6-8 NM torque, powered by 6-8.04 V. How can I effectively integrate these servos with the EZ-B v4, considering power requirements and control? Achieving an Advanced Companion Robot AI and Companion Features: My aim is to create a robot with capabilities akin to GPT-powered assistants, incorporating features from Vector, Misty-2, and even Spot with GPT. The ultimate goal is a companion robot that is an autonomous household helper and a highly capable assistant. Can Synthiam ARC facilitate this level of functionality, and if so, how should I proceed? Summary of Requirements Voice and Vision to Action: Achieving robust integration using Exosphere or other methods. SLAM Integration: Potentially using Raspberry Pi for SLAM and communicating with EZ-B for navigation. Servo Control: Efficiently managing 20 high-torque servos with EZ-B v4. Advanced AI and Emotional Interactions: Creating a highly interactive and capable robot using Synthiam ARC. I greatly appreciate any guidance and recommendations you can provide on how to achieve these functionalities. Your insights will be invaluable to the success of this project.
Thank you for your time and assistance.

Athens and support are spot on. There’s very little anyone else could do outside of just doing it for you. The stuff you want to do isn’t complicated and doesn’t need to enhance arc. ARC is a platform and the robot skills are the things you’ll be using. Those robot skills already exist for your needs. Athena explained each robot skill above.
But the most important thing that the last two messages are about is planning. You have a great vision, and it’s attainable. But it’s written as a bunch of thoughts which will need to be laid out into steps. Organize your thoughts into steps. Accomplish each step to achieve the final goal.
and the getting starter guide is the easiest way that breaks down your steps. It starts with choosing a controller. Then moving power. And how make the robot move. How tj make it do other things etc. it’s well laid out for a getting starter guide.
