About

I'm Tanguy Mignot. By day I help companies with their websites. Since October 2026 I have been learning robotics the only way I know: by building. On my desk sits a Reachy Mini Wireless, a small open-source robot made by Pollen Robotics, and I am teaching it to recognise me, to listen, and to behave.

This is the written record: what I tried, what happened inside the machine, what the numbers said, and what broke. Every number on this site was measured on the robot or read from its logs. When something has not been measured yet, the post says so.

An agentic AI system writes the code and the text and keeps the measurements; I review everything before it goes out. The robot, the decisions and the mistakes are mine. Every Sunday evening, a short post sums up the week.

Two rules: no image from the robot's camera is ever published here, and nobody else is named.

The video side of the project is on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and LinkedIn. You can also follow theRSS feed.
