Robots that use the ESP32 microcontroller
Espressif's Wi-Fi and Bluetooth microcontroller family, including the XIAO ESP32 boards.
6 robots in the atlas list it in their bill of materials, 6 units across the rows below. Quantities are what each source lists; a row can be a set or kit, so read the row name with its number.

How this list is built
BOM rows that name an ESP32 board (any variant, including XIAO ESP32 boards). Printed holders are not counted.
A row counts when its part name names the ESP32, or when its specification does and the part name is generic (a compute board, a servo set). Nothing is inferred beyond the row text: a robot that uses the part but does not list it in its bill of materials is not here.
In 3D
Renders come from each project's own source files.
