“I recently found myself binge-watching a lot of Netflix series due to the current situation, I hope you all are safe, and I saw that season 5 of the Black Mirror was released. An anthology series that revolves around a group of people’s personal lives and how technology manipulates their behavior.
And one of the episodes that caught my attention was Rachel, Jack, and Ashley Too. One of the main characters of this series is a home robot named Ashley O and that robot has a lot of character around it and I thought for myself I should build one, it’s a good project to getting started with programming if not that then at least I can program it to laughs at my jokes.!
What / Who is Ewon? What can it do?
So before I started to work on this project I set some ground rules to be followed. This project had to be
Easy for everyone to try out Not just about being cute but also be useful so it doesn’t end up in a shelf Modular, so that you can keep adding new features. After setting this rule I decided to use the Google Assistant SDK. This SDK provides a lot of features that I was looking for and if you get bored of Ewon you cab always use it as a Google Home device and do what a Google home does.
What Ewon will be doing is adding a character to the Google assistant. That is showing emotions and reacting to what the user says. Now it’s not just the voice you hear but you also get to see how to reacts.”
