# A robot that recognises the family

AI galaxy · Cédric Merlin, CTO · https://merlin-cedric.fr/en/ia/reachy/

A small robot with local face recognition, a tone adapted to each person and a sense of rhythm: nothing leaves the house.

## The problem

Give a small robot face recognition and a sense of rhythm, without sending a single image outside.

## What I did

1. **A face recognised.** It recognises faces with a program that runs on site, sending nothing outside.
2. **An adapted tone.** The robot adapts its tone to the person.
3. **It listens and dances.** It listens to the music and chooses its choreography.

## The result

Everything runs at home, nothing leaves. Everyone gave their consent, and the data stays at home only.

## Watch

The robot waking up: it lifts its head and looks for who is there.
