Autonomous Lamp: Open Source AI Companion with Physical Body
dee_hw · x · 2026-08-28
Autonomous Lamp is an open-source AI companion lamp featuring a physical, "alive" body. Unlike screen-based AI, it uses body language—like hesitation or startle—to express states. Hardware-wise, it includes a camera and a skill store for physical tasks like posture monitoring and hydration reminders. Software-wise, it integrates ChatGPT to manage emails, calendars, and GitHub notifications. Users can teach it new skills via voice, reducing months of robotics engineering to a one-tap setup.
