AmViSH v1 — Embodied AI Prototype

Can a robot feel alive? This project explores how simple behavioral logic combined with physical sensors can create the illusion of life in a robotic system.

Life in machines does not emerge from complexity. It emerges from behavior.

The Core Concept

A magnetic heart module interacts with a Hall sensor connected to an Arduino controller. The physical trigger determines the behavioral state of the robot.

Active Mode

When the magnet is inserted the robot enters ACTIVE state. LED animations and periodic tones indicate operational status.

  • PWM LED breathing pattern
  • Heart rotation lighting
  • 2-second system beep

Alert Mode

Removing the heart module transitions the system into ALERT mode. Visual signals communicate system distress.

Hardware Architecture

  • Arduino Nano
  • Digital Hall sensor
  • LED driver circuits
  • Audio speaker module

Future Improvements

Future iterations will integrate custom embedded hardware and dedicated AI processing modules.
