Using an Arduino Mega microcontroller, a new personal assistant has been created, taking inspiration from Jibo. The new Arduino version of the personal assistant is called Twinky, and full instructions have been published on the Instructables website for you to use to build your very own.
Watch the demonstration video below to learn more about the Twinky personal assistant, which measures 32cm tall and 19cm wide.
Components and Assembly
Kindly, the creator has published all the required 3D printing STL files, allowing you to easily recreate your very own if you have access to a 3D printer. The assembly process is straightforward, but it does require some basic knowledge of electronics and programming. Other components required to complete the robotic personal assistant include:
– Arduino Mega
– SpeakUp Click
– RCT
– Bluetooth
– 4 Relay Module
– Audio Amplifier
– Speaker
– DC Motor
– 2 Digital Signal Microphones
– 4.3in ITEAD touch screen
– SD Module
– RGB LED
– Arduino Mega Prototyping shield
Each of these components plays a crucial role in the functionality of Twinky. For instance, the SpeakUp Click module allows Twinky to recognize voice commands, while the RGB LED provides visual feedback. The 4.3-inch ITEAD touch screen serves as an interactive display, making Twinky more user-friendly.
Functionality and Features
Twinky is designed to be a versatile personal assistant. It can perform a variety of tasks, from setting reminders and playing music to controlling smart home devices. The Bluetooth module allows Twinky to connect to other devices, expanding its range of capabilities. The DC motor enables Twinky to move, adding a dynamic element to its interactions.
One of the standout features of Twinky is its ability to recognize and respond to voice commands. This is made possible by the SpeakUp Click module and the two digital signal microphones. These components work together to ensure that Twinky can accurately understand and execute your commands.
The 4 Relay Module is another critical component, allowing Twinky to control multiple devices simultaneously. Whether you want to turn on the lights, adjust the thermostat, or start the coffee maker, Twinky has you covered.
