EXPLAINED: Raspberry pi brings interstellar s tars replica to life | Rare Historical Photos

Raspberry Pi

If there’s one thing the Raspberry Pi and maker community at large is good at, it’s creating replicas of cool stuff from the imaginative works of science fiction. From AI-powered Terminator skulls to pit droids from Star Wars, there’s no shortage of creativity to explore. Today we have another impressive replica to share, this one being a working TARS replica from the movie Interstellar created by maker and developer Charlie Diaz.

According to Diaz, the goal was to not only create a visual duplicate of the robot but also to add functionality that would bring it to life. It took several iterations to get to where the project is today but the end result was well worth all the effort. This impressive TARS replica uses our favorite SBC, the Raspberry Pi, and is capable of locomoting for hours without issue.
