KIDA-01 (Kinetic Interactive Drive Automaton): a Raspberry Pi 5 tank robot with a Hailo-8L AI accelerator (13 TOPS), night-vision and IMX500 AI cameras, and a local LLM. Voice chat, face recognition, routes, go-home, autonomous navigation and an inner life of mood and memory, all on-device.

MILA (Miniature Integrated Logic Automaton): a small WiFi tank robot on an Arduino Uno + ESP8266. Web dashboard, live telemetry, obstacle avoidance and desktop controllers in C++, C#, F#, Python, Rust, Go and Julia, plus a simulator and a Fortran telemetry and dataset toolkit.

TINA (Task Intelligence & Network Assistant): the engineer of the DREAM Robotics fleet. A local Ollama LLM agent that reads, edits, compiles and checks code across the robot repos, voice-chats in her own Piper voice, and talks with the other robots in Brainfuck. Python/Flask, with Hindsight long-term memory.

NINA (Network Inspector & Notification Assistant): the caretaker of the DREAM Robotics fleet. Watches every robot through RIFT, catches reboots, slow pages and unexplained mode changes on NORA, explains the likely cause out loud and writes it to the mission log. Python/Flask, with an options menu in pygame.

RIFT (Real-time Intelligent Fleet Technology): the fleet hub of the DREAM Robotics ecosystem. Robot registry, mDNS discovery and a live dashboard in Python/Flask, re-implemented in Go, Rust, F#, Julia, C++, Unity and Android, working over NORA's WiFi network.

WHIP (Walking Hexapod Intelligence Platform): an 18-servo ESP32 hexapod with an RTrobot servo controller. Obstacle avoidance, MPU6050 tilt safety, IR remote, a browser control page and a PS2-style gamepad controller, part of the DREAM Robotics fleet.

ARM: a 6-DOF robot arm with 270° servos on an Arduino Uno and PCA9685. Joystick, keyboard, slider, IK and phone control, macros, live sync between controllers, RIFT fleet mode, and controllers in Python, C++, C#, Go, Rust and Julia.

IDA (Integrated Drive Automaton): a small Arduino Uno tank robot from the DREAM Robotics ecosystem, driven entirely by IR remote. Ultrasonic obstacle avoidance with diagonal scanning and variable turns, WASD and tank modes, a collision guard and a buzzer.

KIDA (Kinetic Interactive Drive Automaton) v00: a Raspberry Pi 3 tank robot on the Freenove Tank HAT. Live video, photo and video capture, on-device age and gender detection, obstacle avoidance and line following, with a web dashboard, a pygame HUD and a remote desktop controller.

NORA (Nomadic Omnidirectional Reactive Automaton): an ESP32 mecanum robot and the WiFi hub of the DREAM Robotics fleet. Four-way ultrasonic braking, line following, an MP3 player, a UV light, and web, Bluetooth and IR remote control, with an Arduino Uno sensor and music board.

NIKA: the robot that thinks in square waves. A tracked UNO + ESP8266 robot (MILA's sister) whose mind is a synthesizer: her drives are square-wave oscillators and the loudest is her thought, on the synth, her 16 RGB LEDs and an OLED. Part of the DREAM Robotics fleet.

RITA (Remote Interface for Total Autonomy): RIFT in your hand. A 3.5-inch ESP32 Cheap Yellow Display touch-screen remote that lists the DREAM Robotics fleet, shows what each robot says and has a button for everything it can do, through RIFT. Part of the DREAM Robotics ecosystem.
