# Cartoon-Inspired AI Robots The Rick and Morty 'Butter Bot' Has Been Adapted with New Technologies By Kanesa D | Published 2024-11-21 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/butter-bot References: [theverge](https://www.theverge.com/2024/11/21/24302292/rick-and-morty-butter-bot-ai-kickstarter-robot-toy) & [geekclub](https://geekclub.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoo0iQfY6GRK3rYyRtGNXFCdCeH7V3zv-BvA1r576icBX247PPtd)  [Geek Club](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ayaneo-2) has tapped [CircuitMess](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artemis-watch-20) to design a replica of the [Rick and Morty](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multiverse-collection) 'Butter Bot,' which operates as a breakfast butler in the franchise. This take on the robot enhances its capabilities using a camera and artificial intelligence, allowing users to get more out of it than just syrup and pancakes. The crowdfunded product operates on a dual-core processor, supporting Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and comes complete with a tiny speaker, camera, and microphone. The robot can be controlled via a wireless remote and also plays sounds to add an element of fun. The 'Butter Bot's' AI camera allows it to autonomously walk around and avoid obstacles while also processing voice commands and responding. It can be modified to offer educational benefits through light, motion, and nose modules that further expand its capabilities.
