Incredibly cool! The model itself is something to behold, but all the work you did to bring it to life and make it useful truly take it above and beyond. Hell, someone without the room for a full-sized robot head could turn this into a desk-top or coffee-table "Potato GLaDOS" voice assistant. The 'echo dot' version, if you will.
Indeed, In my mind the pretty box + amazon echo would not have worked for me, having the voice assistant act as GLaDOS is a huge deal for the "immersion". In a similar way that the speakers built in are not the best and they are almost in open air (no bass), but correcting things with a digital EQ so she sounds as close to her as possible makes it much more beliavable! I think it needs a companion subwoofer cube.
Thank you! I'm still mind-blown about your modeling skills, the thing was so very easy to print but pure evil to assemble with no instructions 😂 The main support structure is made from aluminum tubing and sheet metal like yours, I don't have CNC but I do have a router, printer, patience and steady hands 😁 I'll include pictures about the process in the in-depth video.
@Mr. Volt, awesome work on the mech. are the cad files some where online ? would definitely make one ! @Nerdaxic: Great work ! nice to see more local-only diy assistants. glory to home assistant !
If this is the "Google Home Max" version of the voice assistant, should I make the "Google Home Mini" version POTaDOS with Raspberry Pi Zero? 😆 I need one for the bedroom!
@@docteurzoidberg I've seen the Wheatley project by Mr. Volt... Cool and all, but I have elected not to go into that particular rabbithole, too many moving parts.

Yeah me neither. Sometimes have to say "hey alexa" to her 6 times before it gets registered and sometimes it goes off during a movie or something.

Have you looked at the Mycroft assistant and python libraries. I'm doing something sort-of, almost, not quite the same as you. Like you I didn't do the wake word work.
I have looked into Mycroft, but it also seemt like a black box to me (probably not the case) but I wanted to make my own for full control. It would be smarter and could answer more questions but I only need to know the distance to the moon only so often 😁 With mine, I can as questions like "when is the sauna ready" and it will tell me the time knowing the current sauna temperature and the time-temperature function of my sauna 🤓
Agreed. Once I get the machine learning code up and running, I plan to make it so that you can train your own trigger word detection to listen to you spesifically. One way would be to croud-source the audio samples and teach it with a larger pool, but so far the project does not have enough publisity, that would take forever. PS: My Finglish accent confuses even me: I hear that it's shit and I hear that it's good, people are very opinionated about it, most common feedback I get from my videos but which is it 😅
@@nerdaxic I admire how clean every word sounds. But besides any jokes, very well done! I'm "trying" (not really) to make myself a fully offline voice assistant for 2 years now, but working as industrial electronics repairman, there is not much time free for it haha...

Indeed. Her pronoun is "she" as in the game she is a human (Caroline) who's consciousness was transferred into a computer. I find these difficult to keep track of, my native language Finnish does not have gender pronouns 😅
Yeah, it is. The difference is that I am in control WHEN to send them data so I know for sure when they are listening, plus the speech data is not connected to any Google account, thus it cant reasonably be used for profiling. I am okay with this _for now_ and this is going to change when I find a working alternative. Ideas welcome!
Hey, I am currently also creating my own assistant. While he is currently HK-47, I am very interested in adding a GLaDOS personality. Would you be willing to share some of your code? I am currently trying to add context based interaction (I am trying to get it to interact dynamically with me, many even prank me a bit) and am planning on giving it some rudimentary emotion recognition capability ( although that’s planned for next year)
Did I get that right, that you enqueue all voice feedback through the GLADOS voice generator service? I can imagine that the weather response has a lot of variability to it. What is the latency you get with the answer? thanks
Yess, this is true. Latency is usually 1-5min per voice sample. Key here is that I permanently cache the generated samples, so overtime they are found on local disk. Weather forecast has been split in such a way that there are like 10 different weathers, few standard phrases in between and a number and units. I only need to generate new samples few times a week.
GLaDOS whats the weather outside like?
Glados: There is 100% chance of dying from Neurotoxin today!
"Alexa"
"Go Away"
LOL, I was dying when I heard that.
Classic from the polite end of the spectrum! 😂 It's always worth seeing the faces of my guests when the robot answers something passive-aggressive!
