A small do-it-yourself desk robot named Mo-chan has been shared with makers, demonstrating how individuals can build simple robotics and electronics projects on their own. This project uses an ESP32-C3 microcontroller, small DC motors, an OLED screen, and a motor driver to create a robot that looks nice and functions well as a companion for a desk.
The robot is constructed using a metal frame made from wires, and the OLED screen acts as its face, giving Mo-chan a friendly appearance. The project is designed to be simple to follow, with clear instructions and a list of required parts and wiring details, so anyone can build one without needing special tools or hard-to-find components.
The aim is not only to copy the robot but also to try out new ideas. People can change its appearance, adjust how it works, or add new features such as extra sensors or different movements. Mo-chan shows how the maker community combines practical building, electronics, and creative ideas to make smaller, easier-to-use robots that fit well in offices and workspaces.
