The laboratory provided the foundational structure of the robotic dog, and my role was to transform it into an intelligent robot capable of perceiving, describing its surroundings, and engaging with users. I designed complementary components, including a head and a LiDAR sensor support, enabling the robot to move its head for interaction and to achieve a broader field of view. To ensure stability, I utilized SolidWorks to calculate the center of mass, allowing the robot to maintain balance during operation. The parts were manufactured using 3D printing technology.

For functionality, I implemented AI-driven object recognition and classification using the YOLO algorithm, and integrated speech-to-text and text-to-speech capabilities via a microphone and speakers to facilitate seamless human-robot interaction. Additionally, I conducted user research to evaluate the project's practicality and innovation, ensuring its value to the intended users. This work culminated in the final presentation exposed the last day of the stay and the creation of a detailed poster, which is displayed at the Innovation Center as a testament to the project's significance.
