MIMO Bot

Mimo is a compact DIY desktop robot built around an ESP32 and a 2.8" SPI TFT display. It is designed as a small interactive character with animated eyes, expressive UI, sound effects, clock/alarm features, and a clean futuristic look. The goal of this project is to combine electronics, coding, 3D design, and personality into one build. Mimo is not just a functional device, but a small digital companion that feels alive on your desk. This build uses a custom animated interface, battery-powered electronics, and a 3D printed body. The project can be expanded with additional features such as weather display, touch interaction, status indicators, and more. Main features: Animated robot face and expressions TFT screen UI with custom graphics Clock / idle display mode Alarm and notification animations Sound effects and feedback Battery-powered portable design 3D printable enclosure Expandable hardware and software platform Components required for assembly: ESP32 development board 2.8" SPI TFT display (240x320) Li-Ion / Li-Po 3.7V battery Battery charging module Battery voltage monitoring circuit Small speaker or buzzer Buttons or touch input Power switch Wires, resistors, and connectors Mounting hardware Prototype board or custom PCB 3D printed parts Optional components: RTC module LEDs or extra lighting Additional sensors Wi-Fi-based weather/time sync features Notes: This project is ideal for makers who enjoy combining 3D printing, embedded development, and interface design. Mimo can be customized both in hardware and software, so you can easily adapt it to your own style and ideas.
