Osedea Hackathon - AI-Powered Drawing with SPOT

This repository contains the code developed during a 16-hour hackathon at Osedea, sponsored by Modal Labs. The goal of the project was to enable our Boston Dynamics robot, SPOT, to register a vocal command to draw something and then execute the drawing.

Demo

Project Description

Our project aims to create a seamless pipeline where SPOT can take a vocal command, understand it, generate an image based on the command, and finally draw it. The workflow involves several key components:

  1. Stable Diffusion XL Modal: Used to generate images from text prompts.
  2. Whisper: Captures voice audio and transcribes it to text.
  3. OpenAI: Analyzes the intent and pulls the item to draw.
  4. Modal: Runs the entire process on serverless GPU compute for efficiency.

Repository Structure

This monorepo consists of four main sections (though it ideally should have five):

1. Frontend

A React TypeScript frontend for the app to visualize the workflow from voice input to image generation to SPOT drawing.

Setup:

npm install

Setup your .env file:

VITE_SPEECH_RECOGNITION_API_URL=<url_of_the_speech_recognition_backend>

2. Automation

Contains the code to send GCODE commands to SPOT.

3. Image Processing

Contains the Modal code for image diffusion and image-to-GCODE conversion.

Setup:

pip install modal 
modal setup 
modal deploy diffusion.py 
modal deploy vectorizer.py

This sets up live endpoints for the serverless functions, one for generating images on an A10G GPU and the other for image processing on the CPU.

4. Speech Recognition

Integrates Whisper for detecting voice commands and extracting intent. Also includes an evaluator using GPT Vision to find the best drawing.

Setup: Create a virtual environment and install requirements:

python -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate pip install -r requirements.txt`

Copy the example environment file and set up your OpenAI API

cp .env_example .env 

Launch backend with

python main.py

Code Quality

Please note that the code is slightly dirty due to the limited time we had to write it. Improvements and refactoring are planned for the future.
