PycoClaw: MicroPython OpenClaw Implementation for ESP32 and Other Microcontrollers

Pycoclaw MicroPython Openclaw ESP32

PycoClaw is a MicroPython-based platform for running AI agents on ESP32 and other microcontrollers that brings OpenClaw workspace-compatible intelligence to resource-constrained embedded devices. We had already covered the C-based Miniclaw for ESP32-S3 SoCs, the PycoClaw’s developer (Jonathan Peace) told CNX Software that it is a “full OpenClaw-compliant agent” that supports more LLM providers (OpenAI, Gemini, Ollama, etc.), interfaces with not only Telegram, but also ScriptO Studio and WebRTC, and offers features like OTA updates, extensions, and battery-optimized operation. The table below compares PycoClaw to OpenClaw, Nanobot, PicoClaw, NullClaw, and MimiClaw. MimiClaw still offers the lowest footprint and highest efficiency, but PycoClaw appears to offer many more features, including improved GPIO support. It works on ESP32-S3 with at least 8MB flash and PSRAM, ESP32-P4, and should soon support Raspberry Pi RP2350 boards with PSRAM as well. PycoClaw can be installed on supported hardware through a “one-click install” using a compatible web […]

Meta’s Manus AI Agent Launches on Your Desktop

Manus’s new desktop app can read, edit, and act on files and applications directly on a user’s machine. The launch puts Meta’s AI agent ambitions in direct competition with the open-source tool that has dominated the conversation this week. OpenClaw arrived on the internet last month like a weather system. Within days of its release […]

Mastercard Acquires Stablecoin Company BVNK for Up to $1.8 Billion

For most of its fifty-year history, Mastercard has been, in essence, a message-passing network. A transaction happens; Mastercard’s rails carry the authorisation signal between issuer and acquirer in milliseconds; settlement follows on a separate, slower track. The system is extraordinarily reliable and extraordinarily profitable. It is also, increasingly, a system designed for a world that […]

Finnish Startup Elea & Lili Secures €2.5M to Eliminate Plastic

Polyacrylate is the synthetic crystal at the heart of every modern disposable nappy, is derived from petroleum, and it does not break down. It persists for centuries, leaching microplastics into soil and groundwater as it degrades. The hygiene industry has long regarded it as an engineering necessity: nothing else absorbs as fast, as much, or […]

Ofiniti Secures $6.8M to Expand Maritime Fuel Platform

The Oslo-based DNV spinout processed over 25,000 bunker operations in 2025 and claims roughly 40% of Singapore’s digital bunkering market. Verb Ventures leads a growth round that brings total funding to $9 million. The paperwork of global shipping is notoriously stubborn. Every fuel delivery to every vessel at every port generates a chain of manual […]
