Project Update – MedBot / Miky Robot
We are currently testing our proprietary artificial intelligence, NEMA, and adapting some of its capabilities to the MedBot project.
In particular, we are integrating NEMA on Orange Pi together with the Metis accelerator board by Axelera, with the goal of equipping MedBot with a new layer of intelligence dedicated to assistance, interaction, and user support.
The same NEMA AI is also being integrated into Miky Robot, conceived as a humanoid interface for MedBot.
At this early stage, we are working on the first hardware components and their integration with artificial intelligence.
Current Status of Hardware Development
We are 3D printing the first parts of the robot, especially the head and some structural components.
We are performing printing iterations and mechanical tests.
In parallel, we are testing the integration between NEMA and the Axelera hardware platform.
We have also started developing the case for the monitor that will host the Axelera mainboard, but currently only some parts of the case are in the prototyping phase.
Realistic Goals by the End of February
By the end of February, we expect to have:
an initial working integration of NEMA on MedBot;
a partial prototype of Miky Robot, likely including:
the head with AI capabilities and sensors,
some structural components,
and, if possible, an early preliminary version of arms and hands;
a first partial version of the mainboard case, not yet complete.
This is therefore an early prototyping phase, focused on validating the integration between AI and hardware rather than delivering a complete system.
We can share some work-in-progress images of the 3D printing phases and hardware components currently under development, to show the real status of the project.
We will continue sharing updates as the system evolves from an initial prototype toward a more integrated solution.
Best regards,
