hey hello the world of living.ia i would like to ask you something i would like to create an emotional robot similar to an emo robot how can i do it and what are the basics
tanks for your reponse !

That’s a complex topic. I guess the beginning depends on what is more important to you:
- Your robots expressions: A nice face
- Your robots movements: Legs or wheels
Expressions: When you want to begin with the face, I would recommend a Arduino Uno R4. The little board has a LED matrix integrated which lets you learn how to make graphics and lets your robot smile.
Movement: When you want to begin with the robots movements, I recommend some little kit where all the components are included (beside 4 AA batteries and the 5$ Raspberry Pico): Kitronik Autonomous Robotics Platform for Pico – Kitronik Ltd
Perhaps somebody knows a robot-kit for Arduino so you could utilise more than only the LED matrix from it and don’t need to buy a Raspberry Pico
More people should try to make their own, to appreciate the work Living AI has done and still does. (Of course a way to educate yourself with the help of EMO would be awesome → integrate your own code into EMO)

I work on robotics so here are the tips to make a robot also I do not know how to code but I ask chatgpt to help me so you can do the same but you will have to learn
to build the robot its self right now I am making a robot called GEDO 2.0 its also hard to make a robot so here are some things you can use to make one like
Structural Components
- Chassis: Metal or plastic frames, 3D-printed parts.
- Mounting Brackets: To secure components.
- Wheels/Treads: For mobility (e.g., snap-on treads, rubber wheels).
- Servo Mounts: For securing servo motors.
Motors and Actuators
- Servo Motors: For precise motion (e.g., MG996R).
- DC Motors: For continuous movement (e.g., for wheels).
- Stepper Motors: For controlled step-by-step movement.
- Linear Actuators: For pushing/pulling motions.
Electronics
- Microcontrollers:
- Arduino Uno/Nano/Mega (good for beginner to advanced projects).
- ESP32 (for Wi-Fi/Bluetooth capability).
- Raspberry Pi (for advanced projects needing a mini-computer).
- Motor Drivers:
- L298N (for controlling DC motors).
- TB6612FNG (for efficient motor control).
- Sensors:
- Ultrasonic Sensors (distance measurement, e.g., HC-SR04).
- IR Sensors (line following, obstacle detection).
- Gyroscope/Accelerometer (e.g., MPU6050).
- Camera Modules (for vision projects, e.g., Raspberry Pi Camera).
- Temperature/Humidity Sensors (e.g., DHT11).
Displays and Output Devices
- OLED Displays (e.g., 0.96-inch OLED for status display).
- LEDs or RGB LEDs (for visual feedback).
- Speakers (e.g., MakerHawk 3W 8Ω mini speakers for sound effects).
- Buzzers (for simple audio signals).
Artificial Intelligence / Control Modules
- AI/ML Modules (e.g., TensorFlow Lite on a Raspberry Pi).
- Voice Control Modules (e.g., EasyVR for voice recognition).
Power Supply
- Battery Packs (e.g., Li-ion, Li-Po, or NiMH batteries).
- Voltage Regulators (e.g., LM7805 for 5V).
- Power Distribution Boards (for organized power flow).
Mechanical Parts
- Gears & Gearboxes (for mechanical movement).
- Bearings (for smooth motion).
- Belts & Pulleys (for mechanical transfer).
Wireless Communication
- Bluetooth Modules (e.g., HC-05, HC-06).
- Wi-Fi Modules (e.g., ESP8266, ESP32).
- RF Modules (for remote control).
Tools
- Soldering Kit: For wiring components.
- Screwdrivers & Wrenches: For assembly.
- Wire Cutters/Strippers: For managing wires.
Additional Ideas for Your Project
- 3D-Printed Custom Parts: For unique designs.
- Magnets: For modular attachments.
- Snap-On Treads: For rough terrain mobility.
I use these parts a lot when I make my own robot you can use the same!
