I Built "Rocky" from Project Hail Mary using a Raspberry Pi and Local LLM

“Amaze! Amaze! Amaze!” 🎶 Bring the friendly Eridian Engineer to life! In this video, I build a physical version of Rocky from Andy Weir's "Project Hail Mary," complete with a "brain" powered by a local LLM (Gemma 4) and a custom face. After my initial Python sound generator, I wanted to give Rocky a face. Using a Raspberry Pi, a PiSugar Whisplay HAT, and local AI, I’ve recreated the "Amaze! Amaze! Amaze!" experience. Update! I added voice support on Raspberry Pi to make Rocky talk.
