#  Smarty

A mini robot modified based on [SMARS modular robot](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2662828)

## Objective

The objective of this work is to build a cute little robot for my daughter. It could be a toy for her to play with, but my main intention is to let her have an early access to engineering knowledge and inspire her for future learning.

## Overview

The brain of Smarty is a ESP32 Dev board powered by a 9V battery. It is programmed with Arduino. The Dev board and the power switch are accessible  under the top cover, which is attached via magnets.



A remote controller comes together with this design. This remote controller has only one joystick. Another ESP32 Dev board is used in this remote controller and it is also powered by a 9V battery.

## Software

### ESP32

- Install `esp32` in Arduino IDE's Boards Manager.

- Select `ESP32 Dev Module` for the board.

`smarty.ino` is for the robot, and `joystick.ino` is for the remote controller.

### Android

There is an Android APP that can be used to control the robot too. The source files are under `software/android`.
