Last weekend my Reachy Mini broke. Pre AI I would’ve been screwed. There is no robot repairman on call during the holidays. Fortunately, Reachy is designed for that. Some people complain about it but we make you assemble it, we keep it open source, and it uses mostly standard parts so that you can fix it, mod it, and truly own it! With @cursor_ai as copilot I opened it up, debugged, and got it working again, all while learning and having fun at the same time! People talk a lot (too much?) about AI agency but the truth is that AI & open-source are giving us more human agency than we ever had. Everyone can be a part time builder, not just a user and that’s terribly exciting!
