The idea: an AI robot that grows up differently based on its own experiences of the world. The brain is any smartphone. The body is a Pico, two servos, and a battery. About $30, 30 minutes, no soldering. It senses through the phone, stores its experiences in a soul file, and dreams to self improve. Launch video · Wake one up Why open Top down home robots are the scary version: corporate machines nobody outside can inspect. Bottom up is safer: millions of small robots you fully control. Open it, read it, retrain it, use any model you want. In this repo --- --- BUILD.md The build: 2 servos + Pico + phone BOM.md Parts list with sourcing links hardware/ Body STLs, plus a paper cutout template if you have no printer firmware/ Pico firmware, drag and drop protocol/ The open body protocol + conformance test agent-harness/ Run your own LLM on your robot, no account PORTING.md Plug the GrowBot brain into your own robot policy/ The trained walk policy: runner, weights, contract ports/ Community ports. First up: a robot lawnmower Build guide with pictures: growbot.dev/build Two ways in - Free. Build the body, run agent-harness/ on your own key or a local model. - Adopt him, $20. The hosted brain at growbot.dev/start. No keys, no setup. The hosted creature costs me real money to run. That is what the $20 covers.
