Okay, I like this one
From the same clever Chinese people who brought you Pidog, it’s a picrab (they also have a Picar). I think they actually call it the Picrawler. Same as the dog, you provide the pi and the kit is the other parts. It’s especially cool in motion, I think.
It has a 5mp head mounted camera that will stream video back to your phone or computer and I’m intensely curious what the chickens would make of it, if it walked up to them and started talking.
All of these toys come with pre-programmed movements. This one lists sit, stand, wave_hand, shake_hand, fighting, excited, play_dead, nod, shake_head, look_left, look_right, look_up, look_down, warm_up, push_up. I know it will also do a dance, as that’s the demo in the video above.
The description calls this the curriculum. It’s instructions for adding modules and connecting it to various AI accounts view an API. I wonder if AI could enable it to recognise a chicken?
You know I’m going to have to do this, right?
