Smart Rabbit Uses Vision To Communicate
Two fourth-year students at UniLaSalle Amiens, Solène Cordier and Mattéo Dumont, developed the Smart Rabbit, an interactive companion that uses a Raspberry Pi and a camera to detect faces and hand gestures and an Arduino Uno to drive two servo motors. The system uses a YOLOv8 pose model and a 10-frame confirmation threshold to reduce false positives, offering a modular, low-cost platform for tangible human-object interaction experiments.
