KIDA-01 (Kinetic Interactive Drive Automaton): a Raspberry Pi 5 tank robot with a Hailo-8L AI accelerator (13 TOPS), night-vision and IMX500 AI cameras, and a local LLM. Voice chat, face recognition, routes, go-home, autonomous navigation and an inner life of mood and memory, all on-device.
Windows controller:builds/KIDA-01-Controller.exe shows KIDA-01's own web page in a window, so it always matches the page. Source: scripts/web_controller.
Camera: her Android app shows her camera (/video_feed/0).
Other languages:scripts/controllers has this robot's controller in C#, F#, Rust, Go and Julia, all reading one robot.json: W A S D to drive, the mode buttons and the sensors. See its README for how to run each.
KIDA represents the pinnacle of the RIFT fleet. Built on the Raspberry Pi 5, it leverages the Hailo-8L AI accelerator to perform high-speed neural processing at the edge. With a dual-camera setup for multi-spectrum vision and local LLM integration, KIDA is designed for sophisticated human-robot interaction and autonomous decision-making without relying on the cloud.
Core Features
Neural Edge Processing: 13 TOPS of AI compute via Hailo-8L for real-time object detection and tracking.
Hybrid Dual-Vision: Simultaneous processing of Night Vision and 4K AI camera feeds for 24/7 situational awareness.
Local LLM Integration: Privacy-focused voice interaction and logic processing running entirely on-device.
Autonomous Navigation: Advanced SLAM and obstacle avoidance powered by high-speed Raspberry Pi 5 architecture.
Music Visualizer: while music plays, bars from the song itself rise along the bottom of her face on the HUD (music_viz.py + audio_analysis.py, KIDA-00's; they animate while a song is being read, or without pydub / ffmpeg).
Music Together: RIFT conducts and she plays along in time with the fleet: POST /music {"action": "play", "track": 7, "at": <RIFT's time>} on :5004, synced to RIFT's clock (fleet_music.py, the same contract as KIDA-00 and TINA). Tracks are numbered by the number in the file name, as on NORA's SD card.
Tip Stop: tilted more than 30° from her startup pose for a quarter second, in any mode, her motors stop, anything driving her by itself hands back to keyboard, and she says so; drive commands are refused until she's been level for a second (scripts/tip_guard.py, tipped in /status).
Two Screens: the full HUD (ui.py) on HDMI 0, the desktop screen, and a big-text status board (small_screen.py: her face, mode, wheel lock, battery, what she's doing) on a small touch screen in HDMI 1. They go by the physical port, so either works on its own; with only the small screen plugged in the HUD keeps running hidden. config.jsonSmallScreen (Enabled, Port).
Every key, gamepad button and IR remote button. The PC controller shows the same list with F1. One list feeds both: controller/scripts/keymap.py (regenerate with python controller/scripts/keymap.py).
