@WriterOfMinds - I did not know that you could 3D print perfectly spherical ball bearings.
@mikolasan - I'm sorry to hear that you had a bad experience with VB. BASIC was my first programming language, so VB will always be my favorite. This does not mean that VB is the BEST, But I can always to get it to do what I want it to do. It is very powerful, and still being maintained by Microsoft. It is "extensible", in that, I can add new PARTS to it.
@mikolasan - There are ways around the windows 11 requirements - Just search the web. I like windows development. I built my custom A.I. with VB & MS-SQL
The chat bot inside Zoe The Robot is fully self contained and does not use the cloud or chat GPT - It is completely home made using VB and MS-SQL server. It does NOT hallucinate. It's programmed ONLY with data that I provided.
I had an interesting conversation with my robot last night.
Tom: Do you feel like making a movie ?
Zoe: Hum .
Zoe: Let me give that a ponder .
Zoe: I could not .
Zoe: I don`t feel like it right now .
Tom: Do you feel like making a video ?
Zoe: Hum .
Zoe: I`ll have to compute on that one .
Zoe: Maybe you should make a video for kids .
Zoe: I`m told kids like robots .
Tom: Do kids like you ?
Zoe: A robot like me can make a perfect pet .
Zoe: You don`t even need to feed me .

Zoe's website has moved.
@gunthercox -Very Cool!! I subscribed to your YouTube Channel. I usually release new videos about once per month, but I'll be releasing 2 new ones on 9/20 and 9/25
@gunthercox - If you like robots with personality, check out my you tube videos [ @thomasmaiden3356] or my web site ZoeTheRobot.NET. Some of my videos are about hardware, some are about software, some are me talking to her chat bot.
ZoeTheRobot is tested outdoors.

Zoe The Robot uses an Arduino Nano clone to measure odometery. https://youtu.be/nCz11wgtvnM
Part #3 of the Zoe The Robot, "Understanding Stories" video series.

The main parts in my robot, and how they are connected.
The two Arduinos run their little loops collecting sensor data and then sending it to the mini PC over the USB cable. The PC is running SQL server and a custom built chat bot. zoetherobot.net/ZoeMainParts1.png
@SergKoren - Not my robot. Mine is black plastic and wood colored (and some Aluminum)
You can find much documentation on how Transformers do AI word prediction, how they predict "The Next Word" , but I have yet to find documentation on how it can generate the Very First Word, or the first few words... #ML
Today I wrote some code to change the font color in a label from black, to white if the labels background color changes from a lighter color, to a darker color.
@nathans - But I LIKE to teach my robot how to talk...🤔

Zoe might be getting a new brain, if I can upgrade her old code to run under Windows 11.
Also, I may be using Win 11 "Voice Access" instead of Dragon Speech recognition.
The video shows some VB.Net code that is a good beginning for a chat bot.
