PiSloth, by SunFounder, is a Raspberry Pi-powered bionic robot kit that can talk, dance, and express emotions. One maker I met at CamJam, Cambridge Raspberry Jam, has taken PiSloth further, giving it AI speech recognition so you can talk to it. Her particular PiSloth is named Nova.

The off-the-shelf PiSloth kit includes the controller board that sits on top of your Raspberry Pi and controls the servo motors to move the robot’s four joints. It can be programmed in Python or via Ezblock, SunFounder’ user-friendly GUI which looks a lot like Scratch. At just 14cm tall, this adorable machine has many inbuilt capabilities, including 22 different actions that express emotion, remote-controlled movement, and the ability to avoid obstacles.
