Aria is a robotic helper for the home that has many sensors and is precise enough to fetch things from around the home. She has a Raspberry Pi 3 and an Arduino Mega. You will notice that the cup actually contained one of my medications.
I intend to use her as a robotic helper for my mom who couldn't do small tasks after getting chemo for cancer treatment.
The Raspberry Pi controls all voice activation plus the Swift iPad app I created. The Mega controls all back end subsystems as well as an IR remote sensor as a backup in case the RPi has issues.
I wanted to prove you didn't need millions of dollars to create a robot that could really help people. You just needed logic and determination.
Aria has many functions programmed in C, Python and bash scripts. She has a camera so that I can see what she sees through the flask app. She has temp pressure and motion sensors to test for presence. Basically, it's a sentry feature. I'll be upgrading this with the Adafruit thermal imager sensor. Her arm can track by pixy which tracks objects by size and color.
