Status: Assistive system / prototype

Engineering problem

Bring assistive interaction to constrained hardware without making the offline implementation depend on a cloud service.

Approach & architecture

  • Quantized language models, YOLO, and voice interaction deployed locally on Raspberry Pi and Linux.
  • Rust/C++ and Python across the device-side implementation.
  • A separate hybrid prototype explored microcontrollers, ultrasonic sensors, and Gemini function calling. That cloud-dependent experiment is distinct from the offline system.

Outcomes & scope

  • Offline assistive implementation developed for Raspberry Pi.
  • The separate cloud-assisted prototype is documented as a different implementation.
