Waymo x Tamagotchi collab
My take on a robotic pet (for science) — mixing mechanical engineering with LLMs and automation.
While at work at US Synthetic, in between my traditional big boy engineering responsibilities, I assembled my own circuit board and wired my own controller for a vibratory feeder. It was an incredibly fun experience for me, and reminded me how there are very few things in the world that I enjoy more than problem solving while doing hands on engineering work
I want more of that in my life
I am starting this project as a hobby because I am very interested in AI, and how it fits within my first productive love, mechanical engineering
I expect to learn a lot from this project, and it will deeper my understanding of LLMs and automation. I will also seek to turn what I learn into a kit system, and sell it to others, primarily parents, to teach their kids how to use these technologies and set them up for sucess in the AI world
