One web controller, two viewpoints
The phone app on this page is simulated. Choose the on-robot phone or a remote browser, then talk, type or use manual controls while watching the mounted camera. The live AI controller runs on this Mac. A future phone connection would send video and sensor telemetry over Wi-Fi to the controller.
The villa supports six bounded scenarios: tidy and clean, vegetable soup, wash/dry/fold laundry, water/weed three planters, tighten a cabinet fastener and skim pool leaves. Other household work needs new tools and verified skills.
Candidate hardware path
Phone video + IMU → local vision planner → bounded motion commands → ESP32-S3 CAN controller with watchdog. CAN drives the eight crab actuators; PWM/direction drives the Cytron brushed-motor drivers. Encoders report wheel and arm movement. I2C connects distance and soil sensors, ADC reads hand contact, and 1-Wire reads the temperature probe.
Use a designed 24 V bus, regulated 12 V for wheel motors/pump, 5 V for computing/cameras, and a separately specified hand-servo rail. The pictured converter supports up to 60 V input. Contactors, fusing, brakes, BMS, charger, cabling and an independent emergency stop still need sizing and engineering.
Choose the least expensive useful base
Reuse your phone/tablet and this computer: $0 device purchase. Passive casters cost $31.96 for four and need a person to push. Powered wheels are the simpler candidate for level floors. The stair concept needs eight AK80-64 joints: $7,119.20 and 6.8 kg for actuators alone. A cheaper servo does not establish adequate stair torque.
The list mixes observed supplier prices and explicitly marked fabrication allowances. Backorders and unpriced engineering are described on each card. No hardware is being purchased.
What still requires a prototype
This is a kinematic simulator with rendered camera images and simulated telemetry. It does not prove payload, stability, arm collision clearance, food safety, heat handling, waterproofing or physical autonomy. The HiWonder hand, Viper slides, mast and crab links are custom integration candidates, not a complete household robot kit.
Calibrated force control would need a load cell with an ADC such as HX711 ($9.95, load cell separate) or a six-axis ATI Mini45 sensor (quote required). Pool and cooking scenes operate only in this virtual world.
