JBR-001 - Open-source 3D-printable desktop companion robot

Show HN: JBR-001 – An open-source 3D printable desktop robot

JBR-001 is an open-source, 3D-printable desktop robot powered by the Arduino UNO Q. It combines a camera, distance sensor, buzzer, animated display, and three servo motors to create an interactive companion. You can print, assemble, and program it yourself. JBR-001 greets you with arm and head movements, plays sounds, and uses computer vision for advanced interactions. It's a versatile platform for experimenting with robotics, edge AI, and physical computing. All STL files and code are available on GitHub, making it easy to build and customize.

JBR-001 is a small platform for experimenting with robotics, physical interaction, edge AI, and computer vision—you can print, assemble, program, and extend it yourself.

    I have started to use my editor to build a robotic arm and we are using JEPA for perception and Ornith local model for reasoning as a hybrid approach for arm because there’s no single model that handles both.

    I’m sad that it uses the Uno Q. I really dislike the uno Q, since it uses QC SoC, which means no cheap Chinese clone, which is not very accessible to everyone.

    Thanks for sharing! Love that it's open source with the 3D files and instructions included. My son and I are going to build this together. Great project.
