The Hip Monster's make a mesocosm in our latest post. We have been busy working on our AI and robotics but have negotiated posting. We will bring you up to date soon on our next-gen AI powered robots.. #STEM #KidMade #Maker

New video of Number Two and Number Three discussing cloths. #AI #AgenticAI #Maker #Robotics #LLM

Number Two and Number Three discuss Valentine's Day and propose an alternative holiday that is more inclusive. #AI #Robotics #Maker #LLM #SteamPunk

Number Three and Number Two get into a heated discussion on inflation, tariffs, the lack of math in education and the need for compassion. For those of you just joining everything the robots say is generated from a AgenticAI designed by kids. #llm #AI #DIY #robotics #humor

Number Two and Number Three discuss if their art is stealing. #AIArt #LLM #AI #ROBOTICS #Humor

Our robots are back after and ready for a new year. For those of you new to RobotFreedom our robots are autonomous and talk between themselves with no human interference. Their knowledge may be a bit flawed though... #AI #LLM #robotics #RaspberryPi #Arudino #STEM #STEAM

We want to give a shoutout to the 6165 MSET Cuttlefish for hosting a great Maker Faire last weekend. We presented our robots and were impressed by the school, community, and Cuttlefish team! #STEM #Robotics

This weekend see HipMonsters.com live at the Bay Area Maker Faire, Sept 26-28, 2025. See our robots in action, learn about the dangers of AI and how you can protect yourself. #makerfaire #MFBA25 #AI #robotics #LLM @makerfaire

Beware! This robot is more dangerous than it looks. Come to the HipMonster’s exhibit at this year’s Bay Area Maker Faire, September 26–28, 2025! Discover how to spot dangers in AI and protect yourself. #makerfaire #MFBA25 #AI #robotics #LLM

We are In the middle of re-wiring the robots for the upcoming Bay Area Maker Faire and both robots only wanted to talk about wires this week.. #makerfaire and #MFBA25

HipMonsters.com is pleased to announce we will be presenting at this year's Bay Area Maker Faire Sept 26 through Sept 28th at Mare Island. Come see our robots in action live! See more at RobotFreedom.com and HipMonsters.com. #makerfaire #MFBA25 @makerfaire

For this video we changed the AI to track multiple topics in one session. It is still a work in progress #LLM

We will be presenting @robotfreedom.bsky.social at this year's Bay Area Maker Faire Sept 26 through Sept 28th at Mare Island! #makerfaire #MFBA25

In this post we show how to use resin to make parts for robots. #robotics #resin #STEAM #DIY

This was suppose to be a test of their new legs but ended up being good enough for a post.

Here is a look at our backyard where we relax after making. #SF #Flowers

Number Three talks about a new invention that will replace the Internet, books. #LLM #AI #Robotics #Steampunk

Number Three and Number Two talk about why human's like vacations. #LLM #Robotics #Ai #STEM

Our robots are now fully mobile. Here is an article on how we built Number two's and Number Three's new legs. #Robotics #STEM #Steampunk #STEAM

Number Two's RaspberryPi suddenly refused to connect to the wifi and we had to use a ethernet cable then his volume setting froze up but we just forge ahead with the shoot. Robot actors can be finicky. #robotics

They were suppose to talk about graduations but for some reason Number Two started trying to date Number Three.

We tried out a mood for Number Three and she was a bit distracted in this video,

This video was a nail-biter; Number Three's arm started failing off mid-conversation. We train the robots heavily on empathy and all that training paid off in this video. #LLM #Robotics #AI

The robots are completely autonomous. We tried out a new "listen" protocol on Number Two. Notice how he occasionally summarizes the previous statement; it is still a work in progress. #AI

Your cat will love Gunnerkrigg Court. #cat #cutecat

We have started a new robot base on the GirlGeniusOnline Dingbot. #Robotics #Stem #GirlGeniusOnline

As a recap the robots are autonomous. They pick the topics and write their own scripts using a Agentic AI platform. #robotics #ai #stem

Want to see our apothecary cabinet?

This week Number Two and Number Three talk about self-driving cars. Both robots are completely autonomous and the conversation is generated from AIs running on RaspberryPis. #AI #LLM #Robotics #Steampunk

Have you always wanted your own wand? Here are some tips on how to make your own! #wands #props #woodwokring

Please note, the robots choose what to talk about and what to say. We only record the conversation. This week they wanted to talk about dog poop -not us.

We use an Agentic AI framework to enable the robots to talk between themselves and process stimuli inputs. At the end of the week we choose the best conversation to post. #AgenticAI #AI

We had a great day watching a FIRST Robotics Competition in San Francisco. Talented teams, fun crowds and amazing robotics! Learn more at: firstinspires.org #FirstRoboticsCompetition #robotics #stem

Number Two and Number Three speculate why humans honk their car horns so much. #llm #ai #steampunk #robotics #stem

Number Two and Number Three argue about whether stuffed animals are alive. #AutonomousAI #Robotics #AI #SteamPunk #humor

We are rebuilding Number Nine to be faster and more agile. Step 1, new wiring. #robotics #stem #diy

We spent a rainy day rebuilding a robot from spare parts and reminiscing on Gunnerkrigg Court. You can follow Gunnerkrigg Court on BlueSky here: bsky.app/profile/gunn... #steampunk #AI #robotics

In this week episode of RobtoFreedom's autonomous robot conversation Number Two is bored and Number Three discusses how humans deal with boredom. #SteamPunk #AI #Robotics #LLM #Makers

Here is our long over due recap of Fan Expo San Francisco. We can't wait thill this year's event! If you are a Star Wars fan please follow these BlueSky accounts: @the501stlegion.bsky.social @jodyhouser.bsky.social @heatherantos.bsky.social #FanExpoSF #SanFrancisco #StarWars

In this week's episode Number 15 talks with Number 8 about the robot it is building. These are autonomous robots controlled by AIs running on RaspberryPis. #AI #Robotics #Maker

We just posted a video tour of our workshop and give a quick overview of how we train our autonomous robots while we work. #robotics #AI #LLM #Maker

Bad idea #523, lasers on kittens.

And don't even get me started on having enough wires.

Is it just me or does everyone never have enough nuts and bolts?

We learned a lot from our first autonomous video. In this next video we prompted the AI’s to talk about video games and provide richer supporting context. Everything but the initial prompt was generated by our AIs leveraging a LLM using a RAG model installed locally on a Raspberry Pi.

The robots are powered by a RaspberryPi. Each has a local LLM and use Piper to generate speech and Vosk for speech recognition. It took many attempts to record a decent conversation but they routinely have conversations that stay on topic and get into arguments. #LLM #LangChain #RaspberryPi

We added lots of new features to the software platform and now everything runs solely on Raspberry Pis.

When learning to program or coding for fun tools like copilot tend to defeat the purpose.

Best use for a tree house ever.

One of our RaspberryPis refused to connected to WiFi. After hours of tweaking various setting we finally figured out it was the screen interfering with the WiFi signal. Days of effort wasted...
