Sesame Robot
An open-source, 3D-printable walking quadruped built on a $50–60 ESP32 — servos, an OLED face, WiFi, and a JSON API. A friendly on-ramp to real robotics for makers of any level.

Clone it without leaving:
git clone https://github.com/dorianborian/sesame-robot.git The most fun thing in this batch. Sesame is a small walking quadruped you build yourself — 8 servos for roughly 8 degrees of freedom, a 128×64 OLED that acts as an expressive face synced to its movement, and WiFi with a REST/JSON API so you can drive it from Python or JavaScript. Everything is 3D-printable in PLA, and the repo ships the CAD files, STLs, wiring guides, and ESP32 firmware.
You’ll need basic soldering, ~$50–60 in parts, a 3D printer, and a little Arduino IDE comfort — genuinely beginner-friendly as robotics goes. The API and “conversational faces” make it a natural body for a voice-assistant project, so if you’re already running an assistant like OpenClaw, this is the weekend build that gives it a face and legs.
