Integrating AI into a love doll involves combining advanced software with physical hardware to create a lifelike, interactive experience. At the core, you’ll need a mini-computer like a Raspberry Pi or Jetson Nano embedded inside the doll. This device handles the AI processing and connects to the internet if you’re using cloud-based models like ChatGPT or Gemini. You’ll also install a microphone for voice input and a speaker for voice output, allowing the doll to hear and talk. To add realism, many also include touch sensors in key areas, cameras for visual detection, and servo motors to enable head, eye, or body movement.
The AI software handles things like speech recognition, natural language processing, and emotional responses. Tools like OpenAI’s Whisper can transcribe spoken words, and a language model like GPT-4 can generate intelligent responses. These replies are then turned into voice through a text-to-speech engine. You can also script the doll’s reactions to touch or specific voice commands to make the experience more personal and immersive. For offline privacy or customization, open-source models and locally hosted APIs are also an option.
