Robots are getting smarter with AI modules that run lightweight agents. Take the Hiwonder miniHexa Pro for instance: it is an ESP32 powered hexapod with AI vision and 2 DOF robot arm that can perceive its surroundings and pick up & move items. It has a 18 degrees of freedom chassis, 2MP camera for pet, gesture, face recognition, and a 6-axis IMU to maintain its balance.
You can program this robot with Arduino, Scratch and MicroPython. It is compatible with iOS and Android devices. Here are the main specs for this robot:
- ESP32-P4C5 dual-core module
- All metal construction
- 18DOF body, 2 DOF robotic arm
- 3 programming methods
- ESP-Claw agent
- DeepSeek, Qwen support
You can use APIs of models like GPT and Kimi to make the robot even smarter. You have the option to save Lua roles to speed up future responses. MCPs are also supported. The miniHexa Pro also can maintain a local long memory to remember your preferences. You can use your PC to correct the robot’s posture and adjust its height, roll, and other posture settings.
