How It Works

The SmartLearn Avatar project operates as an interactive, AI-driven educational system centered around the ESP32-S3-BOX-3 development board. Power is delivered to the system via a standard USB-C cable, which supplies the necessary voltage to run the microcontroller and its integrated peripherals. The ESP32-S3-BOX-3 serves as the physical hardware interface, capturing user inputs and communicating with a robust software stack. The device runs custom ESP-IDF firmware that handles device operations and network connectivity. This firmware connects with a FastAPI backend server hosted locally or in the cloud, which manages data processing and interacts with ChromaDB to retrieve contextual information and study materials. A React plus Vite web dashboard provides a clean graphical interface for users and administrators to monitor interactions, configure settings, and view data. The hardware is housed neatly on the included multi-angle pedestal stand, allowing for comfortable desktop viewing and interaction while students or users study dynamic materials brought to life by the system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an internet connection for the SmartLearn Avatar to work?

The system supports offline-first educational applications, though certain backend features and database setups may require local network connectivity between your ESP32-S3-BOX-3 and the server.

How do I power the ESP32-S3-BOX-3 hardware?

You simply power the device using the included USB-C cable plugged into a standard USB power source or computer port.

Can I customize the web dashboard interface?

Yes, because the web dashboard is built using React and Vite, you can modify the source code to change how study materials and avatar interactions are displayed.
