RP5 Local AI Agent

AI Functions

Send approved GAR-BOT commands to the Raspberry Pi 5 agent for diagnostics, voice-style control, claws, drive tests, and ground-effect lights.

Not connected

RP5 agent endpoint

Public HTTPS pages may be blocked from sending direct HTTP commands to a local LAN address. If that happens, open this page from the local GAR-BOT site, serve it from the RP5, or add a trusted HTTPS proxy on the Mac mini/RP5.

Enable command buttons only after GAR-BOT is raised off the ground, E-stop is ready, wiring is checked, and no electronics are exposed.

Natural command

Mic off

Mic words will appear here. Review them before sending a command.

Ready. Use Status to read the RP5 agent before sending commands.

What GAR-BOT AI Does

Local control first, cloud optional.

The RP5 agent runs offline by default and maps voice or typed language into a fixed allow-list of robot actions. Optional Ollama support can classify natural language, but hardware commands still pass through the safe command list.

Voice PathPico Voice and the RP Zero 2 W transmitter can send command packets to the RP5 agent.

Drive SafetyDrive and turn commands use a motion watchdog and time out to stop if command packets stop.

Claw ControlOpen, close, and home the left, right, or both top-shoulder claws.

Ground EffectControl nine underbody RGB LED modules and the two side-mounted up/down light servos.

LoRa/Wi-FiHTTP, UDP, and LoRa paths are supported so Wi-Fi can handle setup while LoRa handles field control.

DiagnosticsReport hardware safe mode, claw devices, LoRa config, watchdog, transports, and last command.

Setup Path

Use the AI page with the RP5 agent.

1. Start the RP5 agent.
Run the GAR-BOT agent on the Raspberry Pi 5 at port 8080 with hardware disabled for the first test.
2. Read Status.
Use the Status button to confirm the endpoint, safe mode, command watchdog, and LoRa/UDP settings.
3. Arm only for bench tests.
Enable command buttons only when the robot is lifted, dry, covered, and the E-stop is ready.
