A maker wired Claude to a 3D-printed lockpicking robot

Why it matters
The project shows a general-purpose AI model moving from giving instructions to guiding a physical process through sensors and motors. Daniel says Claude analyzes force feedback over Wi-Fi while an ESP32-C3 Mini runs the machine locally.
Dr. Kun Daniel built a 3D-printed lockpicking robot that sends force feedback to Claude and uses the model's guidance to work on a lock, according to his DIY AI Lockpicking Robot video. The video description says Daniel wrote the custom code himself and has spent more than 200 hours on the project.
