Create an LLM-powered robot using an Android phone and ESP32 dev board
What you’ll learn
Build a fully functional AI-powered robot using an Android phone and an ESP32 development board.
Use MIT App Inventor’s block-based coding to create an interactive Android app without needing prior programming experience.
Understand and implement Bluetooth communication between the Android phone (brain) and the ESP32 (body).
Integrate LLM-powered conversation to enable your robot to speak, respond, and hold meaningful interactions.
Use speech recognition and text-to-speech to give your robot a natural voice interface.
Display expressive digital eyes that blink, track users, and show emotions using the phone’s screen.
Add facial recognition and object tracking to allow your robot to automatically face and follow the user.
Control motors and simple hardware to animate and move the robot in real-time.
Implement chatbot features such as jokes, emotional responses, and personalized conversations.
Customize the robot’s appearance and behavior, including optional facial animations or personality tweaks.
Troubleshoot and debug common issues in Bluetooth communication, motor control, and app logic.
Apply foundational concepts in robotics, AI, LLMs, sensors, and mobile app development.
Build confidence in combining hardware and software to create real-world interactive AI projects.
Requirements
A beginner-level understanding of electronics—just enough to connect simple components, motors, and wires and maybe just to solder 2 wires to the motor.
An Android phone and ESP32 30-pin development board and simple components as motors, wires, battery pack
An interest in AI, robotics, or DIY electronics—no deep technical knowledge required.
Willingness to learn block-based programming, even if you have never coded before. (MIT App Inventor is beginner-friendly.)
Windows PC
Description
Bring your own personal AI companion to life! In this hands-on course, you’ll learn how to build an interactive, expressive robot powered by an Android smartphone and an ESP32 development board. Using MIT App Inventor as the core development tool, you’ll discover just how easy it is to build complex AI applications through its intuitive block-based coding system—perfect for beginners and accessible to anyone without prior programming experience.The Android phone will serve as the “brain” of your robot, enabling speech recognition, natural conversation, personality, and facial expressions displayed right on the screen. The ESP32 acts as the robot’s body, controlling motors and simple hardware that bring your creation to life. You’ll only need a handful of inexpensive, easily available components to assemble the physical robot, making this project both affordable and beginner-friendly.This course will guide you in designing a robot that listens to your voice, responds using speech, and holds meaningful conversations powered by modern AI and LLM technologies. Your robot can tell jokes, offer companionship, answer questions, and behave like a friendly personal assistant. Through the phone’s sensors and camera, you’ll add user-tracking and object-tracking abilities so the robot can automatically turn to face the user, giving it lifelike presence.You’ll also build expressive digital eyes that blink, track the user, and show emotions—plus the option to create your own custom faces or animations. Along the way, you’ll gain foundational skills in Bluetooth communication, AI and LLM integration, speech recognition, text-to-speech, facial recognition, chatbot behavior, object tracking, and more.By the end of this course, you’ll have a fully functional, AI-driven robot that blends hardware, software, creativity, and conversational intelligence—all built by you from the ground up!
