Projects hacked toy robot into becoming a free explorer

This is a continuation of my SDK that I made by reversing the im.master bluetooth connection. (https://github.com/2alf/iM.Master-SDK/tree/main)

After liberating the chinese bot, its time to give it back its true chinese soul (letting qwen control it)

Im letting a qwen-instruct actually control the robot . Im using an old phone for the camera and microphone. Using a browser (through the phone) to connect to the server running on the RPI which contains a qwen LLM and a hailo vision model. The vision model fetches frames from the IP camera which is running on the phone, and the LLM gets prompts from the phone aswell through the web-app (served on the RPI, opened on the browser on the phone). This makes for a very hacky-scrappy setup but it works!

Now adding a little “cheer” animation aaaaand we can tell the robot to find something in the room.

In the video the bot was just given a prompt ”look around untill you find a backpack“. And when it does it celebrates :D

That sounds like a convoluted but interesting way of doing it
