Nowadays, artificial intelligence has entered our lives like never before. We are constantly seeing new achievements, which pave the way for even greater ones in the future. One area directly affected by the rapid development of artificial intelligence is robotics.
Millions of robots, of various sizes and functions, have been built to improve people's daily lives. But how accessible can these be to the average consumer? What can be done to limit their construction cost as low as possible?
Keeping that in mind I decided as the subject of my master's thesis, the construction of an intelligent robotic home assistant. I used the cheapest possible materials and started a journey which captivated me. I gave this robot my best shot and I think it has a lot of room for improvement in terms of software. Having a 3d printer and a raspberry pi, as well as some low-cost sensors, I made a device that can very well meet the demands of a home helper, with the interactivity that a robot can give to an application. Below I will analyze how both the robot and its code were built.
