Luminogotchi

luminogotchi is a robotic desk lamp inspired by jacob jacobsen's original luxo l-1 and pixar luxo sr , a statement piece that's both functional as a desk lamp and brings tamagotchi like personality to any space. in v1, emotions and behaviors are entirely hardcoded state machines rather than ai-driven keeping the project cost effective, offline, and fast to respond. servo-driven joints (with springs for smoother holds where needed) animate the arm, while the lampshade itself doubles as a capacitive touch sensor letting the lamp react when you interact with it an esp32 runs the whole model
