As a project to keep myself sane during the COVID lockdowns, I began looking into making a companion robot using Raspberry Pi, Arduino and 3D printing as a study in how to build a desktop companion robot. I wanted to make something that was fully autonomous and responded to the presense and interaction of people in the room. It also needed to be reasonably affordable (as much as robotics can be!) and accessible.

The project is designed to be modular, meaning any components that are not required for the implementation can be removed and the functionality can be disabled by removing the initialisation in the `main.py` python file. Similarly, new modules can be integrated as easily by following the guide below.
