[TECH] Make a Mini ASIC for Robots

A post of investigating the possibility of making my own ASIC chip. My initial thought was to design a custom Yubikey and use it as a shortcut key to awake AI agents; something like the iPhone 15 side button. Later I realized it might be more interesting to design a mini ASIC as a learning project, since I’ve never got a chance to get involved in the chip design process.
