A detailed DIY guide to build a desktop robot cat with a screen for expressions, voice chat using AI, camera streaming, speaker playback, and servo movements for realistic actions, all controlled from a web page.
How It Works
You stumble upon a fun video of a desktop cat that moves, talks back, and shows expressions on its tiny screen.
Order everyday maker bits like a small screen, motors, speaker, and a smart camera board β everything fits on your desk.
Follow clear pictures to connect the screen, motors, speaker, and camera β it feels like building a toy.
Add animated faces and mouth movements to the cat's memory so it can smile, frown, or chat expressively.
Give the cat its smarts with a quick upload, linking it to your Wi-Fi.
Start a simple app on your laptop that handles talking and watching.
Open a browser dashboard to watch the camera, send voice commands, and control movements.
The cat perks up its ears, waves its tail, speaks back with personality, and reacts to your every word.
