Project Chappie

A humanoid robot, built modularly with the brain at the centre.

Chappie is a personal humanoid robot.

The aim is a robot that interprets the world the way a person does. Something that listens, looks, reasons, and acts, without being told exactly what to do each time.

The approach is brain-first. The vision and dialogue loop runs on a bench in month one, before any motors are involved. Every subsystem is validated in simulation before it touches real hardware. Cloud handles training, a Jetson handles inference.
