## ๐ Overview
Leika is a smaller quadruped robot for the Spot-Micro community.
Built on an ESP32 and powered by FreeRTOS, she can handle multiple tasks seamlessly - Like video and data streaming, solving kinematic and gait planning, controlling IO and much more.
By focusing on practicality and simplicity in both hardware and software, it offer an accessible platform for learning, experimentation, and modest real-world applications.
## ๐ฏ Features
- **Live Preview**: Instant feedback with real-time updates.
- **Real-Time Data**: Stream camera feeds, monitor sensors, and analyze data on the fly.
- **Kinematic Precision**: Full kinematic model for accurate movements.
- **Dual joystick controller**
- **Robot mirroring visualization**
- **Highly customizable**
- **Self-Hosted**: Complete autonomy, from code to execution.
