ligent robot designed for desktop environments. The robot is designed to be a pet-like
companion that brings you comfort and keeps you company.
The robot moves on two wheels and use edge detection to prevent falling off desk ta-
ble, also it has multiple interactive features, including an AI-powered voice assistant
that processes voice commands via a microphone and responds accordingly. The robot
can speak through a built in speaker. The robot expresses emotions through an OLED
screen that displays dynamic eye animations. The Robot also reacts to physical inter-
actions like when hitting or tapping his head he stops the movement and behave well,
and show happiness when patted. Also, as a functional assistant, it includes a built-in
flashlight, allowing it to act as a table lamp wen requested.
In addition, the robot is accessible via a WebSocket based web app that’s optimized
for mobile devices, offering multiple control modes. In Remote Mode, you can drive and
move the robot manually. In Desk Mode the robot can move or stay calm on your desk.
By combining robotics, artificial intelligence, and emotional expressions, mobile connec-
tivity, the Pet Desk Robot serves as both a companion and a functional desk assistant.
