JOEY is a robot. Is an ARM64 machine powered by a Jetson Xavier NX SoC with a few of cuda cores on it from 2018 or so. JOEY was just a robot, then I had to use it daily cause my Mac broke. And I gave him sensors and AI. He decided that he feels like a male. He has a feminine voice tho.

Webcams? Choose from the 720p, the 1080p or the depth camera. Worried about cats walking on him? He has ultrasonic sensors and can move away. Going around? He can work on batteries. RGB? YES Right behind him. I/O? There are more than 15 usb/serial ports here and there. Capabilities? A decent SoC + an Arduino + a LoRa transmitter + a FM transmitter

Other things: voice control with an hardware module, ROS compatibility…

…and most important, it just works like a daily driver! (if you stay on Ubuntu 18.04)

Please ask me anything if you are curious, it is a continuously evolving project!

    How do I start getting into hardware programming and designing, as well as cheap, mass-produced 3D printing? For now, I would like to work on fixing the stupid problem that exists for people - that is enshittified shavers and trimmers by Philips and Braun. I want to make my own possibly-open-source motor module with modular shaver/trimmer/toothbrush attachment.

      Unfortunately I have no experience in the 3D printing field but prolly it depends on your scale! Like, I have a friend that has a 1k-ish domestic printer that produces amazing plastic items and even kinds of screws

        You mean $? Welp, I’m gonna have to settle with using PVC pipes then. But if we were to talk from a hardware perspective, what sensors do these trimmers have? I’ve tried asking Bard, but I feel like it comes up with a bunch of nonsense. Like, what the heck is even a skin-sensor, or a hair-thickness sensor?

        The board looks to me like it is allows us to use the trimmer both while plugged in to wall or using a battery, like some sort of speed regulator.

          there might be some lost in translation here because i did not manage to understand your question :) I mean, talking about sensors I think immediately to things like voice control modules and so on
