Want to build an AI chatbot that actually feels alive? In this Instructable, I’ll show you how I created an animatronic chatbot with moving eyes, blinking eyelids, and a Neopixel mouth that lights up in sync with speech, all powered by a Raspberry Pi 5.

This guide covers the overall build process so you can follow along. For more detailed information, including the code and 3D print file, please visit my blog and the linked YouTube video.

I’ve kept this Instructable focused on the essentials so it's easy to follow.

What a cool project!  The author has included a video. The link below takes you to the final demo with animation, speech recognition, and speech synthesis.

And I love the point that he makes, that there's something different to interacting with an "embodied ai".

That is very cool, Alan. I like it a lot. Thanks for posting. I would just need to free up a few weekends to build it.
