MiniAuto Offers Affordable Embedded AI Robotics
miniAuto is a lightweight Arduino-based robot for beginners that combines an ESP32-S3 AI vision module with an Arduino Uno-compatible core and a Mecanum wheel chassis. It runs models locally for face recognition, color tracking, and FPV streaming over a Wi-Fi hotspot, offering a lower-cost alternative to Jetson Nano or Raspberry Pi setups that can cost hundreds of dollars. All schematics, firmware, and tutorials are open-source.
