Annoying Duck

Inspiration

Inspired by tamagotchis.

What it does

It mimics a tamagotchi, except its much more effective. You can forget about a tamagotchi, but this won't let you forget. It will constantly remind you whenever it wants attention. Which is much better.

How we built it

Will be based on a zumobot for the physical chassis, with sensors attached to a physical body. TBD how the physical body will be made. Could be cardboard to start, and laser cut wood once the shape is figured out.

The sensors and actuators I hope to use, and the features it'll have (depends on time):

• Touch Sensor/Linear Potentiometer to know when you pet it
• LEDs to indicate hunger and boredom
• LCD screen to display its face/emote
• Servos to wag tail and head
• RFID system so you can feed and play with it (diff tags correlate with different objects, toy vs food)
• Camera and tensorflow lite to understand hand gestures and facial expressions, i.e. waving it over = try to go to the person waving you over
• Buzzer or other auditory system for beep-booping at you when its angry or happy ## Challenges we ran into
