A Low-cost Humanoid Prototype Intended to assist people with disability using Raspberry Pi

Abstract

This paper will try to delineate the making of a Humanoid prototype intended to assist people with disability (PWD). The assistance that this prototype will offer is rather rudimentary. However, our key focus is to make the prototype cost-friendly while pertaining to its humanoid-like functionalities. Considering growing needs of Robots, facilities for further installment of features have been made available in this project. The prototype will be of humanoid shape harnessing the power of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to converse with the users. The prototype uses a raspberry pi and as the computational capability of a raspberry pi is minimal, we cut corners to squeeze the last drop of performance and make it as efficient as possible.
