About The Project

Tempura is not only a walking robot cat, it can be brought to life with customizable software, Matrix Robotics kit, and any upgrade you can imagine! ​

Here's why:

• It can recognize 10 different hand gestures. ​
• It has more than 12 movement functions. ​

Tempura's movement is driven by Raspberry pi and Matrix Servo Extension. ​
And Tempura's vision uses the exclusive Machine Learning Pipeline, which includes Hand Tracking, Gesture Recognition and Robot Motion Control System.​
