Japanese developer @meganetaaan showed off a new trick for StackChan, his open-source M5Stack-based desktop robot: when the owner raises their arms in a celebratory fist pump, the robot recognizes the gesture and cheers along.
The clip charmed many viewers, and the code is open-sourced on GitHub, making it a fun entry point for builders who want their own desktop companion robot.
