Future Mycroft hardware idea

This post was inspired after reading a lot of stuff about the Jibo robot.

Wouldn’t it be awesome if after saying the wake word, a robot head with a pan/tilt face tracker like this one would face the user that says it?

It’s not a space that Mycroft as a company would be exploring, particularly with partners like Q.bo doing such great work, but always excited to see others build new things.

There have been a number of robotics builds over time, checkout some here:

First steps into the big wide world

Hi all, I just wanted to share something with the community, today, our robot assistant K.A.L.I. took her first steps into the real world. My daughter wanted to show her off in her Class’s show and tell, so we setup a demo in the school hall and gave 3 classes (90 pupils +) a taste of Mycroft in action - thankfully Mycroft performed excellently (a few wake word issues - but had the cli backup) - but a good 90% hit rate. The kids loved it, were full of questions and can’t wait to see her agai…

Not a robot, but would love to hack “The Moon” from 1-ring to add A.I. and Mycroft voice assistant to it.
