Building a Robot that Hunts AI Glasses
Building a fully functional, voice-controlled Odradek from the Death Stranding series! In this final phase of the build, I am tackling the complex mechanical head, fabricating game-accurate LED wings, and turning the Odradek into an embodied AI agent. Using completely offline, local models running on a Raspberry Pi 5, this Odradek can track objects via voice command and even hunts down the Bluetooth signals of hidden smart glasses (our real-life BTs!). No cloud, no data centers—just local, hardware-accelerated AI. Keep on keeping on! 👍 Have a great project idea?
