The Raspberry Pi 5 local AI agent is in:

`rp5_ai_agent/`

Open:

`rp5_ai_agent/README.md`

## What It Does

- Runs offline on Raspberry Pi 5.
- Provides a local HTTP API for the touchscreen, voice path, LoRa bridge, or
  remote software.
- Parses simple robot commands like `forward`, `stop`, `open left claw`, and
  `close both claws`.
- Optional local Ollama command classifier for natural-language commands.
- Controls four IBT-2 motor drivers using the GAR-BOT GPIO map.
- Controls two claw boards: `Claw Left 1` and `Claw Right 2`.
- Starts safely with `hardware_enabled: false`.

## Install Summary

On the Raspberry Pi 5:

```bash
cd rp5_ai_agent
chmod +x scripts/install_on_rp5.sh
./scripts/install_on_rp5.sh
sudo systemctl start gar-bot-agent
```

## Safety

Leave `hardware_enabled` set to `false` until GAR-BOT is raised off the ground,
the E-stop works, and wiring has been checked.
