Sesame is an open-source, 3D-printable mini quadruped robot powered by an ESP32 microcontroller and eight servo motors, featuring an expressive OLED face and WiFi connectivity. The repository provides CAD/STL files, build guides, and Arduino-based firmware including a REST API, serial CLI, animation tools, and a Python companion app.
Use cases
- build an affordable walking robot at home
- learn quadruped robotics with 3D-printed parts
- control a robot over WiFi with a JSON API
- create custom robot animations
- add a voice assistant with an expressive robot face
- teach robotics and embedded programming to beginners
When to choose
- you want a cheap ($50-60) open-source walking robot you can 3D print
- you are a beginner or maker learning robotics with Arduino and ESP32
- you need a programmable robot platform with API access for experiments
- you want an expressive robot with a face for voice assistant projects
When to avoid
- you need a high-DOF research-grade robot with advanced locomotion
- you have no access to a 3D printer or soldering equipment
- you need a ready-made commercial product with support
- your project requires ROS or industrial robotics integration
