Hardware Overview

To make Wall-E Bot a reality, a robust hardware design was crucial. Drawing on cutting-edge manufacturing methods and reliable microcontrollers, the physical framework of Wall-E Bot exemplifies both form and function.

ESP32 Microcontroller

At the heart of Wall-E Bot is the ESP32. This powerful yet energy-efficient microcontroller features integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, making it an excellent choice for real-time streaming and edge computing tasks. Key features:

  • Dual-core MCU designed for high-speed processing

  • Low-power consumption for extended battery life

  • On-board Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for seamless connectivity

  • Built-in security features such as secure boot and flash encryption

3D Printed Parts

All mechanical components of Wall-E Bot are constructed using 3D-printed parts, enabling rapid prototyping and customization. The design has been refined to optimize:

  • Weight for ease of movement

  • Structural integrity to endure repetitive tasks

  • Modular accessibility for quick part replacement or upgrades

These 3D-printed parts house everything from the ESP32 core to gear mechanisms and servo mounts, striking a delicate balance between aesthetics and ruggedness.
