Meet

A desk-sized brain.
Built in the open.
Still unnamed.

Our first companion robot goes into production within the year. It has a brain, a face and a neck. What it does not have is a model name. That part is yours, and the person who names it gets the first one free.

Thinks on the desk, not in a data centre

Sharp Mind

A dual-core ESP32-S3 at 240 MHz runs wake-word, speech and expression logic locally. Pair it with a home server or phone and it speaks with an open-source language model. Your words never have to leave the room.

Not a speaker with a light ring

Like a Face

A 2-inch IPS touch display is the whole face. Eyes blink, squint, look around and light up when you talk. Tap the screen and it reacts. It is a character, not a gadget.

360° pan · 90° tilt

Full Control

Two feedback servos give it a neck. It turns toward your voice, nods when it agrees, and tilts when it is confused. Every move is scriptable in plain JavaScript.

550 mAh · USB-C

No Strain

A built-in cell keeps it awake through a full working session away from the cable, and it charges from any USB-C port. Leave it on the desk, in a bag, or on a bookshelf.

Everything on the board.

The core is the same across the family. What changes is the shell, the software persona and the support tier.

PROGRESS LOG · SEPTEMBER 2026

Where we are.

No case studies yet, no press. This is the real state of the project, and we will update it as we go.

  1. 01 · DONE

    Open core chosen

    Built on a proven open-source desktop robot platform: ESP32-S3 brain, 2-inch touch face, pan-tilt neck. We start from what already works instead of from zero.

  2. 02 · IN PROGRESS

    Prototyping on the bench

    Reference kits torn down, the shell redrawn around our face, firmware being tuned for Indian languages and offline use. Every part stays replaceable and printable.
