ESP32 CAM AI Vision Assistant Pendant ESP32-CAM AI Vision Assistant Pendant for the Visually Impaired

Moving through unfamiliar environments is a challenging thing for visually impaired people. We have a lot of solutions, from sticks to obstacle-avoidance handheld devices on the market, to solve their problem. In the DIY world, a lot of makers have built obstacle-avoidance sticks using Ultrasonic sensors, IR sensors or even a PIR sensor and different variations of…

Conversational Baymax Robot with Animatronics and AI Integration Conversational Baymax Robot with Animatronics and AI Integration

Maker Brae Barnes is developing a conversational Baymax-style robot that combines animatronic motion with an AI-driven speech system. The current prototype focuses on the head assembly, featuring articulated neck movement, blinking eyelids, and the ability to respond to spoken input using a speech-processing pipeline. The goal is to create a robot that not only talks but also conveys…

POCKET - the AI Assistant built by Naz Louis Pocket - Raspberry Pi-Based AI Assistant

This is Pocket, an AI assistant built by Naz Louis. The goal of this project is to run AI models completely on a Raspberry Pi 5. Since Pi 5 comes with limited resources, what he did is instead of running a large model directly on Pi 5, he made a collection of light weight models and made them work together. He designed and deployed a routing setup that routes different tasks to the right…

Build a Speaking Alarm Clock Using XIAO ESP32-S3 Build a Speaking Alarm Clock Using the XIAO ESP32-S3

Traditional alarm clocks have remained fundamentally unchanged for decades. The ESP32 speaking alarm clock built in this tutorial replaces the beep at a scheduled time and expects the user to interpret the reason for the beep. While functional, this approach lacks intelligence and context. Modern embedded systems enable the creation of smarter devices that…

Raspberry Pi Pico Text to Speech using AI DIY Raspberry Pi Pico Text-to-Speech Using Wit.ai

Text-to-Speech, or TTS, is a technology that converts written text into spoken audio. It is widely used in voice assistants, accessibility tools, alert systems, kiosks, and smart devices. On computers and smartphones, TTS works smoothly because these systems have enough processing power and memory to handle speech generation locally. Microcontrollers are different.…

Best Text-to-Speech (TTS) Converter Comparing Text-to-Speech (TTS) Converters available for Raspberry Pi - eSpeak, Festival, Google TTS, Pico and PYTTSX3

Text-to-speech (TTS) is a type of speech synthesis program that is used to produce a spoken sound version of the text, such as a document file or a Web page. TTS can make it easier for a visually impaired person to interpret computer display information or can be used to improve the comprehension of a text message. Other than that, it can be used to make your robot speak or…
