## What it is
MindPaw is an open-source desktop quadruped robot dog built on ESP8266 with roughly ¥50 in parts, featuring voice control, gesture recognition, a web remote interface, OLED expressions, and AI conversation via the Doubao LLM API. The repository includes full firmware, schematics, PCB files, and 3D-printable models, plus an optional AI Infra gateway aimed at edge AI and human-robot interaction research.

## Use cases
- build a cheap quadruped robot dog
- learn embedded AI on ESP8266
- control a robot with voice and gestures
- chat with an LLM-powered robot pet
- study human-robot interaction and edge agents
- 3D print and solder my own robot from open hardware files
- teach robotics to beginners with a hands-on kit

## When to choose
- you want a low-cost, fully open-source quadruped robot with hardware files included
- you are a beginner learning to integrate servos, sensors, and AI on a microcontroller
- you want voice, gesture, web, and LLM interaction in one small robot
- you are researching edge AI gateways or HRI on cheap hardware

## When to avoid
- you need a production-grade or high-payload robot platform
- you require strong real-time performance or many degrees of freedom
- you need a project with a formal license, long-term maintenance, or commercial support
- you want a ready-made kit rather than DIY assembly, soldering, and 3D printing
