With this in mind--and following his penchant for retro restorations--he decides to build a customized voice assistant into the body of one of his favorite &quot;artificial intelligence&quot;: the classic 1978 model 2-XL educational toy from Mego. In this first part in a 2-part series, Matt will walk through how the 2-XL toy robot worked, before setting up Google Assistant on the Raspberry Pi, training a custom wake word for the assistant, and rewiring the power supply with modern components!</span></p> <h2><span style="color:#3334ca;">Supplemental Content:</span></h2> <ul> <li><a class="jive-link-blog-small" href="/challenges-projects/element14-presents/b/blog/posts/mego-2xl-robot-teardown" data-e14adj="t">Mego 2XL Robot Teardown</a></li> <li><a class="jive-link-blog-small" href="/challenges-projects/element14-presents/b/blog/posts/how-to-set-up-google-assistant-on-the-matrix-creator-development-board" data-e14adj="t">How To Set Up Google Assistant On The Matrix Creator Development Board</a></li> <li><a class="jive-link-blog-small" href="https://www.element14.com/community/people/airbornesurfer/blog/2020/05/15/attempting-to-get-snowboy-working-on-the-matrix-creator" target="_blank" data-e14adj="t">Attempting to get Snowboy working on the Matrix Creator</a></li> <li><a class="jive-link-blog-small" href="/challenges-projects/element14-presents/b/blog/posts/how-to-set-up-the-google-aiy-voice-kit" data-e14adj="t">How To Set Up The Google AIY Voice Kit</a></li> <li><a class="jive-link-blog-small" href="/challenges-projects/element14-presents/b/blog/posts/how-to-use-a-custom-wake-word-with-google-assistant" data-e14adj="t">How To Use A Custom Wake Word With Google Assistant</a></li> <li><a class="jive-link-blog-small" href="/challenges-projects/element14-presents/b/blog/posts/how-to-train-a-custom-wake-word-for-google-assistant-using-snowboy" data-e14adj="t">How To Train A Custom Wake Word For Google Assistant Using Snowboy</a></li> </ul> <h2><span style="color:#3334ca;">Bill of Material:</span></h2> <table class="jiveBorder" style="border:1px solid #C6C6C6;" border="1"> <thead> <tr> <th style="background-color:#f2f2f2;border:1px solid #C6C6C6;color:#505050;padding:6px;text-align:left;">Product Name</th> <th style="background-color:#f2f2f2;border:1px solid #C6C6C6;color:#505050;padding:6px;text-align:left;">Manufacturer</th> <th style="background-color:#f2f2f2;border:1px solid #C6C6C6;color:#505050;padding:6px;text-align:left;">Quantity</th> <th style="background-color:#f2f2f2;border:1px solid #C6C6C6;color:#505050;padding:6px;text-align:left;"><span><a id="e14-product-link-22249" data-at-areainteracted="rte-content" data-at-type="click" data-at-link-type="button" href="https://referral.element14.com/OrderCodeView?fsku=2945677,2808589,2945580,2675819,(UNAVAILABLE?)&nsku=49AC7637,33AC3704,51AC7144,05AC8548,96AC6443&COM=e14c-noscript&CMP=e14c-noscript&osetc=e14-noscript-tracking-loss" data-at-label="PRODUCT_BUY_KIT" class="e14-embedded e14_shopping-cart-far e14-button" onclick="event.preventDefault();e14.func.displayProduct(e14.meta.user.country, this, 'embedded-link', e14.func.getProductLinkJSON('22249'));" data-farnell="2945677~1,2808589~1,2945580~1,2675819~1,(UNAVAILABLE?)~1" data-newark="49AC7637~1,33AC3704~1,51AC7144~1,05AC8548~1,96AC6443~1" data-comoverride="" data-cmpoverride="" data-cpc="" data-avnetemea="" data-avnetema="" data-avnetasia="" >Buy Kit</a> </span></th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td style="border:1px solid #C6C6C6;padding:6px;"><span style="color:#303030;">RPI3-MODBP -

With this in mind--and following his penchant for retro restorations--he decides to build a customized voice assistant into the body of one of his favorite &quot;artificial intelligence&quot;: the classic 1978 model 2-XL educational toy from Mego. In this first part in a 2-part series, Matt will walk through how the 2-XL toy robot worked, before setting up Google Assistant on the Raspberry Pi, training a custom wake word for the assistant, and rewiring the power supply with modern components!</span></p> <h2><span style="color:#3334ca;">Supplemental Content:</span></h2> <ul> <li><a class="jive-link-blog-small"

style="color:#000000;font-family:&#39;Open Sans&#39;, Arial, sans-serif;text-align:justify;"> Matt is quite picky about the looks of his AI assistants: he shies away from the uncanny valley and abhors the abstraction of a disembodied voice in his devices. With this in mind--and following his penchant for retro restorations--he decides to build a customized voice assistant into the body of one of his favorite &quot;artificial intelligence&quot;: the classic 1978 model 2-XL educational toy from Mego. In this first part in a 2-part series, Matt will walk through how the 2-XL toy robot worked, before setting up Google Assistant on the Raspberry Pi, training a custom wake word for the assistant, and rewiring the power supply with modern components!</span></p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><h2><span style="color:#3334ca;">Supplemental Content:</span></h2><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><ul><li><a class="jive-link-blog-small" href="/challenges-projects/element14-presents/b/blog/posts/mego-2xl-robot-teardown">Mego 2XL Robot Teardown</a></li><li><a class="jive-link-blog-small" href="/challenges-projects/element14-presents/b/blog/posts/how-to-set-up-google-assistant-on-the-matrix-creator-development-board">How To Set Up Google Assistant On The Matrix Creator Development Board</a></li><li><a class="jive-link-blog-small" href="https://www.element14.com/community/people/airbornesurfer/blog/2020/05/15/attempting-to-get-snowboy-working-on-the-matrix-creator">Attempting to get Snowboy working on the Matrix Creator</a></li><li><a class="jive-link-blog-small" href="/challenges-projects/element14-presents/b/blog/posts/how-to-set-up-the-google-aiy-voice-kit">How To Set Up The Google AIY Voice Kit</a></li><li><a class="jive-link-blog-small" href="/challenges-projects/element14-presents/b/blog/posts/how-to-use-a-custom-wake-word-with-google-assistant">How To Use A Custom Wake Word With Google Assistant</a></li><li><a class="jive-link-blog-small" href="/challenges-projects/element14-presents/b/blog/posts/how-to-train-a-custom-wake-word-for-google-assistant-using-snowboy">How To Train A Custom Wake Word For Google Assistant Using Snowboy</a></li></ul><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><h2><span style="color:#3334ca;">Bill of Material:</span></h2><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><table border="1" class="jiveBorder mce-item-table" style="border:1px solid #C6C6C6;"><thead><tr><th style="border:1px solid black;border:1px solid #C6C6C6;padding:6px;color:#505050;background-color:#f2f2f2;text-align:left;">Product Name</th><th style="border:1px solid black;border:1px solid #C6C6C6;padding:6px;color:#505050;background-color:#f2f2f2;text-align:left;">Manufacturer</th><th style="border:1px solid black;border:1px solid #C6C6C6;padding:6px;color:#505050;background-color:#f2f2f2;text-align:left;">Quantity</th><th style="border:1px solid black;border:1px solid #C6C6C6;padding:6px;color:#505050;background-color:#f2f2f2;text-align:left;"><span><a id="e14-product-link-48ecd" data-at-areainteracted="rte-content" data-at-type="click" data-at-link-type="button" href="https://referral.element14.com/OrderCodeView?fsku=2945677,2808589,2945580,2675819,(UNAVAILABLE?)&nsku=49AC7637,33AC3704,51AC7144,05AC8548,96AC6443&COM=e14c-noscript&CMP=e14c-noscript&osetc=e14-noscript-tracking-loss" data-at-label="PRODUCT_BUY_KIT" class="e14-embedded e14_shopping-cart-far e14-button" onclick="event.preventDefault();e14.func.displayProduct(e14.meta.user.country, this, 'embedded-link', e14.func.getProductLinkJSON('48ecd'));" data-farnell="2945677~1,2808589~1,2945580~1,2675819~1,(UNAVAILABLE?)~1" data-newark="49AC7637~1,33AC3704~1,51AC7144~1,05AC8548~1,96AC6443~1" data-comoverride="" data-cmpoverride="" data-cpc="" data-avnetemea="" data-avnetema="" data-avnetasia="" >Buy Kit</a> </span></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td style="border:1px solid black;border:1px solid #C6C6C6;padding:6px;"><span style="color:#303030;">RPI3-MODBP -
