Whereas this robot has evolved, changed and updated as new technology has come along - now, I know very well, that keeping on adding the latest new & shiny can sometimes mean you don't ever have a complete "thing" and there is a point in time where you just have to "go with what you've got", but I'm glad they are taking their time with 'Little Sophia' Have no idea what I'm talking about?  Check out the latest video here: In fact it was due to this little robot that I ended up finding out about a tiny little STT / TTS audio chip that is amazingly small & amazingly powerful and REALLY cheap, something like £2 each - now that sort of technology was something I played with about 10 years ago and was about 10 times the size and 10 times lower ...

Okay, so Misty the robot is pretty cool   CLICK HERE TO SEE / READ / VIEW MORE I think its great that they've made different ways to code the robot, from 100% beginner using BLOCKLY (a person fav. of mine for non-coders to get to understand coding) You also have the option to code using the Python SDK, Web APIs and C# SDK; which is pretty cool.  So, you can go from total novice through to expert coder, well, as expert as calling HTTP APIs or using Visual Studio is...no C-code level for the hardcore.... except, oh wow! https://docs.mistyrobotics.com/misty-ii/robot/misty-backpack-for-arduino/ They have a backpack module that is an Arduino, so you can extend and enhance the robot yourself...and use C (coz that's what Arduino is coded in), so it looks like they've c...
