MiniHexa Introduces Open-Source Desktop Hexapod Platform
The miniHexa, a compact open-source desktop hexapod, launches as a research and hobbyist platform integrating 18 servos, an ESP32-based controller, IMU, ultrasonic sensing, AI vision via ESP32-S3, and offline WonderEcho voice, according to the project announcement. It features a real-time inverse kinematics engine, tripod and ripple gaits, CNC aluminum chassis, Python/Arduino/Scratch support, and a visual editor and mobile app, lowering the barrier for bionic-robotics experimentation.
