With facial recognition supported by AI, Cocobot interacts with the people who enter the area. As soon as a person crosses the area where a ultrasound sensor is placed, this triggers a signal to be sent to an ESP32 meaning that a person is approaching. At this point the Cocobot starts talking and filming the person without saving any data. The eyes of Cocobot will light up and it will try to make the person smile by telling something funny. As soon as a smile is detected by the PI Camera, a picture is taken. In the next step Cocobot asks for permission to send the picture to the gallery. By pushing the dedicated button the person grants permission. The image is then received and displayed on a separate screen by a second RaspberryPI.

If you are interested in building the project yourself, you can have a look at the documentation (at the moment available only in german).
