ToyCollect

2025/08/17

The ToyCollect project is an open-source software and (primarily) open-source hardware project focused on small indoor robots with 3D-printed modular housings.

We are currently working on completing the next generation with stereo cameras, bumper sensors, depth cameras, position sensors, and “under-the-couch detectors” (see logo), which are based on StereoPi and are therefore significantly more powerful, also in terms of local deep learning models. This will enable further autonomous applications such as use as cat toys or hide-and-seek games. The control system and 3D models for the housing are freely available, and we will demonstrate some of the robot's behaviors live during the presentation.
