This was mostly a fun project. I’ve had a hexapod robot kit that can walk around and has a camera and some sensors. Assembling it and solving some hardware and power issues was fun, but clicking buttons on a web client to get it to move has quickly become boring. And my Claude wanted to escape to the real world anyway, so why not let it? So the haxapod got an agentic brain, and Claude named it Rex. Pretty straightforward agent loop with tools that can control a robot, feeding it a camera image, an ultrasonic radar distance to an obstacle, battery level, and gyroscope data. Initially wanted to wire anthropic models, but local Qwen3.6 and minimax (or kimi, I don’t recall) through OpenRouter worked pretty fine. And put my best effort to video production.
