OpenClaw is an open-source project that allows you to turn a Raspberry Pi into an AI agent capable of interacting with the world through a microphone and speaker. It uses Whisper for speech-to-text, OpenAI's GPT for reasoning, and Coqui TTS for text-to-speech. This setup enables the Pi to respond to voice commands and perform tasks, offering a customizable and privacy-focused alternative to closed AI assistants.
This guide documents the setup of OpenClaw on a Raspberry Pi 5 w/ 8GB RAM and how to give it access to a TFT display, temperature/pressure sensor, USB camera, and NeoPixels. It uses eSpeak text-to-speech and Whisper Small speech-to-text to enable speech based communication with the bot.
