Sam Potozkin, a business analyst, has created a 3D-printed head of the Star Wars character C-3PO that can converse using AI. Potozkin designed and assembled the head, which includes a voice generator and text parsing capabilities, using a Raspberry Pi 5. The project's unique feature is its audio output, which uses a mechanical exciter to vibrate the plastic head, creating a more realistic effect than a traditional speaker. Potozkin has made all his code and 3D files publicly available on GitHub. AI
