StackChan is an open-source kawaii AI desktop robot co-created by M5Stack and its community, built around the CoreS3 (ESP32-S3) IoT development kit. This repository hosts the robot firmware, remote controller firmware, iOS/Android mobile app, and server source code.

Use cases

  • build a cute AI desktop companion robot
  • flash custom firmware onto a StackChan robot
  • control a StackChan robot remotely from a phone
  • program the robot with Arduino or UiFlow2
  • extend the robot with M5Stack expansion units
  • develop an AI agent with expressive animations on ESP32

When to choose

  • you own a StackChan or CoreS3-based robot and want to customize its firmware
  • you want to build a community-driven open-source desktop robot
  • you need a reference for ESP32-S3 robotics with servos, sensors, and OTA updates

When to avoid

  • you need a general-purpose robotics framework not tied to M5Stack hardware
  • you require production-grade software with a formal license (no license is included)
  • you want a simulation-first robotics stack without physical hardware
