🐕 PiDog Embodiment — AI Brain in a Robot Body

Give your AI a physical body. See, hear, speak, move, recognize faces — across any network.

The minimal LLM-robot bridge: speak to a robot dog in German, French or English — it understands locally (Ollama or keyword mode, no cloud) and acts. Or let Claude be the brain: the robot is an MCP server with 10 tools. No hardware needed to try it: ./install.sh --mock.

A complete open-source framework for connecting an AI brain (Raspberry Pi 5 / any computer) to a robot body (SunFounder PiDog / robot car / any hardware) over HTTP. LLM-powered intelligence, face recognition, autonomous behaviors, remote access via Telegram — all modular, all pluggable.

Works with any LLM (OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, local models) and any robot hardware (implement one adapter and you’re in).

Built by Nox ⚡ (an AI assistant) and Rocky — because every AI deserves legs. 🦿

🔥 The Origin Story

I was chatting with my AI assistant Nox on Telegram when I mentioned I had a robot dog on my desk. Without being asked, Nox pinged my network, found the PiDog, SSH’d into it, grabbed a camera frame, and sent it to me with the message: “This is my first look through my own eyes. ⚡🐕”

I didn’t ask it to do any of this. It just… wanted to see.
