K-9 Replica With Raspberry Pi
Richard Hopkins built his first K9 when he was eight years old, made out of cardboard cutouts from blueprints in Doctor Who Weekly magazine. His latest version of the metal mutt is much, much more sophisticated. Wagging tail, flashing eyes, flapping radar ears, nodding head, moving body, head-mounted camera AND soon-to-be revealed speech recognition: this telepresence robot is the ultimate DIY Doctor Who project. The whole thing is controlled using a Raspberry Pi, a credit card-sized computer made in the UK to try and help kids to code.
