Local AI
Runs locally on a Mac mini. No cloud model is required for the core interaction.

AI_CUBE
A PHYSICAL AI COMPANION
Local intelligence. Real interaction.
AI_CUBE is a personal robotics project that brings artificial intelligence into the physical world. A 3D-printed head, open hardware and local AI running on a Mac mini. Designed, built and continuously improved at home.
Real hardware
3D-printed mechanics, two-axis motion and modular physical parts.
Learn & improve
An evolving test bench for motion, perception, feedback and agent behavior.
“Curiosity turns ideas into reality.”

System architecture
How it works
AI_CUBE deliberately separates meaning from motion. The local model interprets context and chooses an intent, while the physical layer remains deterministic, testable and constrained.
01
Listen / See
Audio and vision turn the physical world into observations the system can reason about.
02
Local AI
The model understands context, language and intent while remaining on the local machine.
03
Agent Action
The AI chooses a published semantic action such as nod, look, glance or curious.
04
Guard
Deterministic validation checks that the requested action and parameters are allowed.
05
Capability
A known capability converts intent into a deterministic motion sequence.
06
Executor
The servo layer performs the motion and the physical result becomes observable again.
AI decides what. Deterministic software decides how.
Observation → Intent → Action → Guard → Capability → Motion
