Boxty: Desktop Robot Friend (Pan and Tilt with Pixy, Webcam, and Laser) by robotgeek

Last crawled date: 4 years, 7 months ago

Boxty is your desktop robot buddy! He'll sit at your desk being cute, and maybe useful! In his head is a Pixy camera, allowing him to track a colored object or marker. There's a laser in his mouth for zapping things, and he has a webcam in his eye that could be used for facial recognition or other machine vision applications with RoboRealm, or you could use it to Skype your friends, or have a unique camera for Twitch streaming!
