I make robots, bring them to life with code, and have a whole load of fun along the way. I also make videos about robots on YouTube
Join me in the chat at 7pm BST (just over an hour from now) as we look at what makes the @arduino Uno Q the perfect platform for running Hermes Agent for your agentic AI projects youtu.be/PK5TOwhgrV8
Why is Hermes Agent on Uno Q just better?

The new Projects Hub is available now on www.kevsrobots.com/projects/hub Makes it really easy to document your project builds; a smart Bill of Materials table means you can select items from the parts catalog and then drag in images and schematics right into your project.
Join me in the chat at 7pm BST as my latest video goes live - this is part 3 of the Code-to-creation series, and this time we're adding Wifi to our project using #MicroPython @arduino Cloud and a @Raspberry Pi Pico 2W. youtu.be/Wwhmy9AqCbE

i've added a new feature to kevsrobots.com - a friendly robot 🤖 helper called Nibsy. She's a bit like Microsoft Clippit (aka Clippy), but less annoying. Head-over and give her a click (just dont mess with her antenna)
Join me at 7pm BST as we see if Claude Code can build a UI for our robot arm project running #MicroPython youtube.com/live/90pPahg... Can we trust AI to build this?

Happy pancake day! 🥞 What do you have on yours? I’m lemon and sugar
Is OpenClaw safe to run on Raspberry Pi? What about the costs of running it 24/7? Lets explore this in my new video, dropping at 7pm GMT today. youtu.be/7JtSxb7wB8c #RaspberryPi #OpenClaw

New MacBook Pro day today. The dichotomy of migrate or start from scratch (but then install everything as it was anyway). Hopefully the new MacBook Pro M4 Pro will be a bit quicker at rendering video than my old M1 has been
Working on a new video... It's been "an experience" so far! First generation on my Mac Mini M2, I gave it access to my family iMessage account and I had to shut it down after 24 hours! Second generation is running on a Raspberry Pi and actually doing useful stuff. Coming soon
Going live in 25 minutes, Still time to get drinks, snacks and reticulate your splines. Lots of cool stuff to talk about! youtube.com/live/4KjpH_2...

Excited for Bett tomorrow. Been nearly 20 years since I’ve been! I’ll be on the @arduino stand nerding out about all things Arduino UNO Q
Currently setting up Frigate and Home Assistant in my Raspberry Pi homelab. The AI HAT+ (original) for inference and detection. So far, so good
Raspberry Pi has just launched the new AI HAT+2, which runs LLMs locally in the HAT's dedicated 8 GB of RAM. It’s fast too - 40TOPS, in just 2w of extra power. Cheaper than a month and a half of Claude AI Max. Watch this video for more and a hands-on demo: youtu.be/lT1NJfkuiU8
