Putting the robot in front of a computer that could take the spelling test itself, using OpenAI models to check debug info and iteratively fix and retest, made the app self-heal into a well-working version.

Scott built an automated feedback loop where a computer conducted the spelling test against the robot and used OpenAI models to debug and iteratively fix timing issues, ultimately producing a smoothly working app. ✦ AI generated

what I actually ended up doing was setting the Richie Mini in front of a computer, having that computer take the spelling test on the Richie Mini back and forth with audio and microphones, and then that way the system was able to self-heal and improve the latency using Open AI models to run the test, check the debugging information, and then fix it, test it, reiterate until now we have an app that is, I got to say, working pretty well.

11:37Specifically because the window for when he was supposed to talk wasn't clear. So, I'm going to get to work on that and we're going to see if we can make my son a fan of this app. So, because of this first initial failed test, what I actually ended up doing was setting the Richie Mini in front of a computer, having that computer take the spelling test on the Richie Mini back and forth

11:59with audio and microphones, and then that way the system was able to self-heal and improve the latency using Open AI models to run the test, check the debugging information, and then fix it, test it, reiterate until now we have an app that is, I got to say, working pretty well. >> Your word is robot. The teacher asked us to spell robot. >> Um r o b o t

12:31>> Nice work. You spelled it carefully. Your word is eat. The teacher asked us to spell eat. >> e a t >> Nice work. You spelled it carefully. Your word is jump. The class practiced the word jump today. >> j u m p >> Nice work. You spelled it carefully. >> So, I think this was a great success. The robot is now my personal assistant. It's taking spelling tests with our kids

13:08and it's only going to get better from here because I still haven't really implemented that much with the camera. The next step on the docket is to use the camera to teach my son and I how to play Warhammer 40K. We're going to use the camera and the LLM that this is talking to to discuss both strategy as well as what to do next so that way it

13:30can even identify pieces on the battlefield. That is a big project and the one that I'm going to be diving into next. That said, I'm a huge fan of this little robot. It's a really cool open project that you can do all kinds of stuff with and I got to say, I think I just made a new friend.
