MiniSoul is built on the ESP32-S3 SuperMini with a 1-inch OLED display, coin vibration motor, and passive buzzer.
Touch inputs drive the behavioral engine which models personality across six factors: Curiosity, Fear, Joy, Anger, Sadness, Desire. Each interaction affects these factors over time, making the robot's responses feel shaped by its history with you rather than pre-scripted. Every unit develops subtly differently.
Two months in. Hardware foundation complete. Behavioral engine being designed now. One month from a first finished version.
