Kiko on the bench

We build Kiko in Berlin and write down each step.

So far

  1. Kiko gets a voice

    The speaker played Kiko's first words.

    The amplifier soldered to Kiko's 27 mm speaker.

  2. Kiko has a face

    The screen showed Kiko's eyes for the first time.

    Screen, Jetson, microphone ring and depth camera, wired up on one desk.

  3. Vision on the GPU

    Kiko's vision now runs on the Jetson's GPU.
