Paige Bailey jokes about a cute robot on a hoverboard with NFC hats
AIPaige Bailey jokes that a cute robot on a hoverboard wearing NFC hats would make a peak robotics Christmas present. She posts three playful steps for building it, quoting Remi Fabre's Reachy Mini Level UP update, which adds a hoverboard, iOS and Android app control, and NFC tags for personalization.

Today we're releasing the Reachy Mini Level UP update, which mainly contains three things: • A hoverboard, to give Reachy Mini some much-needed mobility (I'm a big inverted pendulum fan and I absolutely love this one, sometimes I just do sit → stand up → sit → stand up on repeat) • A smartphone app, available on iOS and Android: no computer needed to interact with the robot anymore • NFC tags, allowing for new angles of creative personalization (e.g. one hat = one personality) We hope you'll build great things with these new tools, learn stuff and have fun! Congrats to everyone involved in the release! PS: There's been a major software update that has been robust for a while now but hasn't gotten a lot of visibility yet: JavaScript apps. I encourage all our AI builders to have a look at it, because for a bunch of applications, it's so comfortable compared to Python. I think the best example of this is the Telepresence app (link below), which allows you to control your Reachy Mini and stream audio and video from your phone, even when you're not home. Also, you just click on the link and it works in your browser, no installation needed.
