Replacing the Motor Inside My Humanoid Robot Arm

I’m currently upgrading my DIY humanoid robot by replacing the motor inside the arm mechanism.
I’m testing the new motor and gear system to improve the arm’s torque and movement. ⚙️🤖
Still a work in progress, but I’m excited to see how this setup performs under load.
I’d appreciate any feedback or suggestions from the robotics community—especially regarding motor selection, gearing, and mechanical design.

Connecting LLMs / AI APIs to a Raspberry Pi or Jetson Orin for Robot Control?

Connecting LLMs / AI APIs to a Raspberry Pi or Jetson Orin for Robot Control?
Post Body:
I am working on an onboard setup for a robot using SBCs like the Raspberry Pi and NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano, and I'm looking for effective ways to integrate AI/LLM capability into the system.
Specifically, I’d love to learn how others are connecting local models (like Ollama, LLaMA, or TensorRT-LLM) or cloud AI APIs (like OpenAI or Gemini) to their robot hardware. Are you using ROS 2 nodes to process prompt responses into action calls/telemetry, or direct Python scripts communicating over sockets/micro-ROS?
If you've built something similar, what architecture or software pipeline gave you the lowest latency for real-time control? Any tips, repos, or examples would be hugely appreciated!
