Hijacking IoT with IBM Watson
summary
A prototype hijacks a Roomba (iRobot Create) with Raspberry Pi + serial adapter, Node-RED and MQTT to call IBM Watson services on Bluemix: Visual Recognition, Speech-to-Text, Text-to-Speech and Tone Analysis via the Watson IoT platform. The system sends camera frames to the cloud, returns labels (age/gender sometimes misclassified), and accepts remote voice commands to drive, dock and clean; network hiccups occur but core actions work. Code and step-by-step labs live on the linked GitHub and blog.
