Run Gemini 3.1 Flash Live on an open source robot.
Thor from Google DeepMind connects the Gemini Live API to Reachy Mini, an open source robot from Hugging Face and Pollen Robotics. Real-time conversation, vision, multilingual switching, music generation with Lyria 3, Google Search grounding, and body movement synced to speech, all running through the Gemini Live API.
What's covered: Setting up the Reachy Mini SDK and environment, integrating the Gemini Live API using Antigravity, configuring voices and system prompt profiles, enabling real-time weather via Google Search grounding, generating music with Lyria 3, and wiring function calls to physical actuators for synchronized movement.
You'll need a Reachy Mini, a Gemini API key, and the Pollen Robotics SDK to follow along. Full project linked below.
