Ollie is an animatronic puppet I built for local philly artist Jayson Musson, Ollie is capable of person detection, using a TensorFlow Lite ML model tailored specifically for the Raspberry Pi. He follows museum visitors and addresses them with unique voice memos based on the number of visitors. Ollie has six servo motors, 4 microcontrollers, a custom circuit for real time lip-syncing based on the audio signal, and a media player for storing the voice memos. He was fabircated using 3D-printing, laser-cutting, CNC machining, and of course some minor jerry-rigging.
