TJBot: Community Edition

TJBot: Community Edition

A DIY open source robot for makers, students, and educators.

šŸ–– This project was forked from the original IBM TJBot repository to keep TJBot up-to-date for evolving Raspberry Pi hardware and software.

Hello, I’m TJBot!

I am a small, open-source DIY robot that you can 3D print or laser cut. My body houses a Raspberry Pi computer, a small speaker, an LED, a microphone, a camera, and a servo motor that lets me wave my arm. I was designed for students and makers of all ages to showcase the cool applications that could be built with AI.
