Shows how a web page sends voice commands to a $100 consumer robot over Bluetooth using a laptop: captures audio with small recorder (recorder.js variant), sends PCM to Alexa Voice Service or AWS Lex, maps slots/utterances to intents, and calls a local Node skill server (Alexa app server from NPM) that uses Cylon JS to control a Sphero. Shake routine flips orientation on a 15-step interval; pairing is touchy but the live demo connects and runs.
