This is by far the tastiest project we’ve ever done! In this project we show you how to build a Gingerbread robot using the Raspberry Pi and servos kit, and the PivotPi, the Raspberry Pi Servo Controller. The Gingerbread robot is equipped with a camera that checks for faces, and if it sees a face, it does a small dance!
We naturally had to take this a little further, and added facial recognition to the mix: the robot can detect a face using OpenCV computer vision software and the Raspberry Pi Camera.
