Yes Chef

In an unlikely confluence of VoiceAI (Cartesia, Pipecat, PicoVoice, ), the LeRobot robotic arm, and a puppet, three friends built a project that has led to curiosity, learning, and many laughs.

The project pulls imagery from a camera at request of a wake word, processes that imagery using an LLM, and converts related text to speech. All processing occurs on a Rasbperry Pi.

⚠️ WARNING
The demonstration for this project is vulgar, foul-mouthed, and relentlessly hurls insults that are inappropriate for most audiences.

You can view our Yes Chef! hackathon submission video on YouTube.

We won second place at the related competition in October of 2024.
