Tenengla AI Desktop Humanoid Robot
The Tenengla AI Desktop Humanoid Robot is an open-source DIY robot with a cute appearance and rich features, making it perfect for educational purposes and personal maker projects. This website focuses on sharing the design philosophy and technical principles of the Tenengla AI Desktop Humanoid Robot, helping more people quickly get started with desktop AI robots, bringing robots and artificial intelligence into the physical world and into homes as fun, interesting, and practical super intelligent assistants.
What is the Tenengla AI Desktop Humanoid Robot?
This robot is inspired by the Otto DIY open-source project created by Camilo Parra Palacio in 2016. Through self-developed edge algorithms, appearance design, mechanical structures, combined with 3D printing and the concept of creating everything with electronic components, Tenengla's R&D team enables even beginners to build their own desktop AI robot in just 30 minutes at ultra-low cost! Through a cloud-integrated architecture, the desktop robot is equipped with AI voice dialogue, AI motion feedback, AI vision system and other capabilities. The product deeply integrates multiple scenarios such as emotional companionship, maker education, 3D printing, AI large models, embodied intelligence, and smart home. It supports one-click integration with mainstream AI services such as Tenengla AI, Xiaozhi AI, Tuya Smart, and Volcano Engine. It is an intelligent ecosystem hardware platform for AI desktop robots. Our goal is to significantly lower the barrier to AI robot creation, allowing AI and robots to truly enter the physical world and into homes.
