Building robots from messy wires

[Solder @halfsoldered]

Scout is a Grok powered robot caretaker built with Grok Code.

It runs on a Raspberry Pi, with Grok acting as the brain behind the system. Instead of just sitting in a chat window, Scout is being built as an embodied AI that has to interact with the real world and look after something alive.

Its first responsibility is Biscuit, my female crested gecko.

Scout is being designed to manage and monitor the things Biscuit depends on every day: food, water, humidity, enclosure temperature, routines, sensor data and survival conditions.

The next stage is adding more enclosure sensors, better automation, camera monitoring, live data, and eventually 24 hour streaming so people can watch Scout and Biscuit’s setup evolve in real time.

This token is being launched to fund Scout’s development. Fees will go back into upgrades for the robot, better gecko sensors, enclosure automation, hardware improvements, streaming setup, and everything needed to keep building the project publicly

Adding a Hermes Agent to Scout’s stack.

The point is to give Scout a better care layer, not just more tools.

Hermes will help turn Biscuit’s enclosure checks into routines, logs, alerts, and upgrade decisions.

Humidity, temperature, food, water, moss, dirt, leaves, wood, small changes over time, all the boring stuff that actually matters.

If something starts drifting, Scout should be able to notice it earlier and understand the pattern, not just react to one reading.

It also helps make future upgrades more grounded.

Better sensors, cameras, small arms, misting, lighting, anything that makes Scout more capable of looking after Biscuit properly.

@Teknium What if hermes helped a embodied version of grok look after a gecko 👀

Meet scout a little robot i built that is fully powered by grok

Scout currently has one main task (Look after this gecko and make sure it doesn't die)

So i guess we are watching if widely used public LLMs can actually form bonds and look after living creatures

Is this your CA? Just confirming if you’re hacked or if it’s yours

@Cybertank367 @openclaw yep that's the address for the scout token

@xai @openclaw I love it so far used it to help me make this little embodied version of grok to look after my gecko

@elonmusk Love it so far used it to help me build a embodied version of grok that looks after my gecko

it even named it biscuit xD

This is so cool and even cooler for Scout and her duties of looking after her gecko biscuit

Now i can give scout the utilisation of openclaw which is huge

now scout can:

- research better gecko care methods

- compare sensors, cameras and enclosure hardware

- find upgrades for its own body

- look for parts without me manually searching everything

- track prices and decide what upgrades matter most

- use web tools instead of being stuck inside one local system

- document its progress publicly

- slowly improve the care loop around Biscui

The interesting part of Scout is not just that it is a robot beside a gecko enclosure.

It is the care loop.

Scout reads Biscuit’s environment, checks the conditions, tracks routines, notices changes, and slowly builds an understanding of what her little world needs.

Temperature, humidity, light, food, water, habitat checks, all of it becomes part of the same loop.

That is what I want to keep improving: not just a smarter AI, but an AI with better senses, better memory, and a real responsibility in the physical world.

[Solder @halfsoldered]

Scouts brain ready and prepped for all the new upgrades coming tomorrow

[Solder @halfsoldered]

@krushkasgreens i have claimed the fees its what ive been using to help fund the upgrades

[Solder @halfsoldered]

Future Scout upgrades I’m looking at:

Pi Camera Module:
Gives Scout proper visual awareness of Biscuit and the enclosure. It can help with behaviour tracking, feeding checks, enclosure changes, and eventually 24 hour streaming.

Water Level Sensor:
Lets Scout know if Biscuit’s water supply is actually there instead of just assuming it is. Basic, but important for making the care loop more real.

Automated Misting System:
Lets Scout do more than read humidity. If the enclosure gets too dry, it can respond and help keep Biscuit’s habitat stable.

The goal is to keep giving Scout more ways to understand and manage the little world it is responsible for.

@fairplaysol yeah i was looking into platforms but https://t.co/SmHqyFzXlp offers a streaming service so once i get it setup ill probably just stream there

[Solder @halfsoldered]

Ordered UV light senors for Scout

UV sensors add light awareness. That means better day/night tracking, better enclosure logs, more real data, and less guessing about the environment Biscuit actually lives in.
