Looks like a very deep and broad dive into end-to-end IoT on AWS! For those who may find the hardware-build portion a little too deep, one of the ready-made car kits might substitute. Amazon shows several Raspberry Pi car kits (ex. Freenove); I'm working with a Freenove ESP32 board kit, and their documentation and support is passable. If the author has suggestions for ready-made hardware, it would be helpful.
How challenging would it bo to implement 2 way audio and control a few accessories instead of the object recognition ? I know I should be able to do they with WebRTC.
The specific workshop link above returns “Page not found”, as does the page returned by searching for “iot robot” in AWS Workshops. Can this be fixed? Is anyone monitoring this channel?
The majority of the services for this project will fall into Free Tier so there will be no cost or minimal (less than $10/month). The main service where you can incur costs outside of the free tier is Rekognition, which is used for the image classification, so I suggest you either avoid using the 'Start Detection' function (which triggers Rekognition) from the web application or use it very briefly just to see what it does and then stop. If you leave the detection on then costs can quickly increase
I'm planning on recording some longer videos to step through the build in more detail. Keep an eye out on the channel for them over the next month or two
Hi, that is a pretty straight forward thing to do. Just a case of connecting the various sensors (temp, humidity) and external actuators (motors to open windows, etc) to the Pi and control via the IoT shadow in the same way as the robot. There are many cost effective sensors that you can get online to do the job
