Animated face instead of emojis – SpotPear ESP32-S3 AI ball

2026-11-05 04:18:50 Ask

Hi everyone,

I replaced the emoji display of XiaoZhi with an animated face on the

SpotPear ESP32-S3 AI ball (N16R8, 1.28" round GC9A01).

Video: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/jVZ4FdJq-Uc

What it does:

  • the face talks, blinks, shows emotions and follows you with its eyes
  • the AI can change its look via MCP tools ("be a cat", "capsule eyes",

    "make your whiskers pink", glasses, shoes, ears ...)
  • it can draw simple pictures on request
  • small offline games via a long press menu

Ready-to-flash firmware (browser flashing with esptool-js) and instructions:

Works with the normal xiaozhi.me server. Feedback welcome!
