Open source desktop robots you can build
Last updated
Three desk builds, each described in one line quoted from the creator's own repository at a pinned commit. Where we have a full page for a build, its name links to it.
1. Groki Bot
“Groki Bot is an open-source desktop robot (M5Stack CoreS3 with a Stack-chan base) that you can talk to through the Grok Bot app, with firmware, a computer-side gateway and a Grok Bot link in one repository.” (source)
No demo video yet: the repository's README marks the demo as "to be added". See the README
