Welcome to Phase 1 of the Emotion Support Robot project!
This stage focuses on building core technical skills (C++, Raspberry Pi, Git) and laying the foundation for a dynamic, AI-powered emotional support companion.

• ✅ Strengthen C++ and Raspberry Pi programming fundamentals.
• ✅ Learn version control with Git & GitHub.
• ✅ Implement basic robotics interactions (sensors, output control).
• ✅ Prepare for advanced AI integration in future phases.

• C++ (Object-Oriented Programming)
• Raspberry Pi (Linux environment)
• Git & GitHub (Version control)
• Future: Python (AI/ML/NLP modules)

1. Clone the repo using SSH:

   git clone git@github.com:Manjusha-2807/emotion-robot-phase1.git
   cd emotion-robot-phase1

2. Build and Run: g++ src/hello.cpp -o hello ./hello
3. Use push.sh script to commit and push updates: ./push.sh

Current Focus GitHub setup with SSH Hello World in C++ Sensor-Class C++ Tutorial (Ultrasonic) Speaker Integration (Text-to-Speech) OLED vs LCD Decision & Display Output

Phase 1 Roadmap “Build strong foundations, not shortcuts.”

🔹 Learn C++ OOP & hardware interaction 🔹 Understand sensor & actuator control 🔹 Maintain clean version history 🔹 Document progress as we grow
