Building Qrio, a Bot That Plays Videos for My Toddler

Explore the development process of Qrio, an AI bot designed to interact with toddlers, in this conference talk from NDC Sydney 2020. Learn how to create an object detection AI model for recognizing toys and people, optimize it using TensorRT, and implement text-to-speech functionality with Amazon Polly. Discover the techniques used to build Qrio's body and animation system using a game engine and skeleton animation. Gain insights into programmatically playing YouTube videos with Selenium Automation tools. Finally, understand how to integrate all components and deploy the bot on an NVIDIA Jetson Nano with a Raspberry camera, creating an interactive educational tool for curious toddlers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
