You’re starting a new empty project for a mini tabletop robot assistant using an ESP32. No schematic or PCB work has been created yet because AI execution is currently unavailable due to no remaining ACUs.
What remains to do:
- Define the robot features: movement, display, voice/speaker, sensors, camera, battery/USB power.
- Choose the ESP32 variant, likely ESP32-S3 if you want camera/voice or ESP32-C3/ESP32-WROOM for simpler control.
- Create the schematic: ESP32, motor driver, battery charger, voltage regulators, sensors, connectors, and programming interface.
- Create firmware pin mapping and bring-up/test documentation.
- Lay out the PCB after the schematic is verified.
A good starting architecture would be: ESP32-S3 module + 2 small geared motors + DRV8833 motor driver + 1-cell LiPo battery + USB-C charging + 3.3 V regulator + optional OLED display, microphone, speaker amp, and distance sensor.
