REGISTER EDUCATION FORUM / IBM TJBOT, A WATSON MAKER KIT IBM TJBot, a Watson Maker Kit KIT-14515 2 INCLUDES DESCRIPTION DOCUMENTS Have some fun coding your very own AI robot with TJBot, a do-it-yourself template to learn, experiment with and explore AI with IBM Watson. The project consists of open source step-by-step recipes, or coding instructions, designed for a Raspberry Pi to help you connect your TJBot to Watson developer services. Born at IBM Research as an experiment to develop best practices in the design and implementation of AI and cognitive objects, TJBot is an example of "embodied cognition" -- the idea of embedding artificial intelligence into objects in our everyday lives. Want to have a conversation with TJBot or teach TJBot to dance or tell a joke? You can use featured TJBot recipes to teach your own TJBot these skills or create your own new recipes and share them with the world. In this version of the TJBot kit, we include a laser-cut template to form the body of the Bot, LEDs, a microphone, the Raspberry Pi, SD card and wires to connect everything together. Also, this kit is only available for those in the United States and Canada. Sorry, world! Note: A credit card may be required to access the TJBot's full function. images are CC BY 2.0 GET STARTED WITH THE IBM TJBOT GUIDE SHARE Previous Versions Tags DEVELOPMENT EDUCATION START A PROJECT TJBOT IBM KIT RASPBERRY PI ROBOTICS WATSON IBM TJBot, a Watson Maker Kit Product Help and Resources VIDEOS TUTORIALS SKILLS NEEDED Getting Started with TJBot DECEMBER 14, 2017 This post will walk you through setting up your TJBot and getting started with the first three recipe examples provided by IBM.

TJBot - Just a box of cardboard until you get an IBM Cloud account? about a month ago by Member #320397 verified purchaser Upon receipt of a box of cardboard parts, I used the "getting started" link off of the Sparkfun site. The first step was to obtain a token/auth code from IBM's Watson cloud. Following the "getting started" steps, I got to a point where it said I would receive an email from the IBM TJBot group with the necessary links. THE EMAIL NEVER CAME. I opened an issue with the IBM TJBot site. Its been more and two weeks and have yet to receive a response from IBM. A couple of days after trying to get the credentals from IBM I opened an issue with Sparkfun Support. Thier response was that Sparkfun was only a supplier and any technical issues had to be resolved by IBM -- so me and my box of cardboard is just collecting dust. TJBot about 2 weeks ago by Member #1058015 verified purchaser The laser cut cardboard "folds" break apart when folded. I ended up 3D printing the parts. Recommend just buying a raspberry pi and components separately. START SOMETHING.
