The paper introduces an LLM-based Conversational AI Knowledge Assistant for the Raspberry‑Pi‑powered 13‑Axis MyBuddy humanoid robot. It combines large language model-driven language understanding, real‑time speech recognition, internet‑based knowledge retrieval (e.g., Wikipedia, arXiv), flexible dialogue management, and natural speech synthesis to support intelligent, multi‑turn conversations and emotional‑support interactions. This system aims to overcome the limitations of traditional rule‑based dialogue systems in humanoid robots.

Behaviora is a preliminary conceptual architecture that represents both external and internal behavior of robots and agents in an addressable form. It defines a Behavior Episode composed of components derived from behavior taxonomies, each assigned a persistent Internet of Behaviors (IoB) Address. The architecture also includes a Style Profile to describe how behavior is expressed, an Experience Profile to capture internal state influencing execution, and a Behavior Compiler to translate these representations into platform‑specific actions.
