Buddy Bot is an interactive social robot that will be designed to reduce children's smartphone addiction, promote healthy behavior, and provide educational experiences. It uses hardware like Raspberry Pi, sensors, computer vision, and voice recognition to engage children through voice commands and emotional recognition via facial expressions. Additionally, it monitors environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, and gas levels, ensuring a safe space, and can control smart home devices like lights and fans. Parents can track their child's interaction and the environment via a dashboard
