Reachy Mini recognizes itself in the mirror

Описание: Remi plugged GPT-4o on Reachy Mini and it's pretty cool! Some new capabilities:
Image analysis: Reachy Mini can now look at a photo it just took and describe or reason about it
Face tracking: keeps eye contact and makes interactions feel much more natural
Motion fusion: [head wobble while speaking] + [face tracking] + [emotions or dances] can now run simultaneously
Face recognition: runs locally
Autonomous behaviors when idle: when nothing happens for a while, the model can decide to trigger context-based behaviors

Questions for the community:
• Earlier versions used flute sounds when playing emotions. This one speaks instead (for example the "olala" at the start is an emotion + voice). It completely changes how I perceive the robot (pet? human? kind alien?). Should we keep a toggle to switch between voice and flute sounds?

• How do the response delays feel to you?

Some limitations:
No memory system yet
No voice recognition yet
Strategy in crowds still unclear: the VAD (voice activity detection) tends to activate too often, and we don’t like the keyword approach
