Fan bouwt sprekende Rocky-robot uit 'Project Hail Mary'

Back to overview

A fan has built a functioning robot based on Rocky, the alien character from Andy Weir's science fiction novel Project Hail Mary. The tabletop robot features moving limbs, speech recognition, and gestures that match the character's behavior in the book. The builder used 3D printing, custom engineering, and a Raspberry Pi computer to create the interactive machine, which can perform actions like offering fist bumps and making hand gestures during conversations.
