XRobot began as a side project to solve a problem that every embedded developer knows: the endless repetition when starting new projects. Every time I worked on a new STM32 application, I found myself stuck doing the same things over and over—copying boilerplate code, setting up build files, fixing small mistakes, and chasing after missing drivers or configuration.
When I started, my project folders were a mess, and my code was full of copy-paste and mysterious global variables. Everything felt glued together with duct tape.
It was time-consuming, frustrating, and frankly, it kept me from doing the parts I actually enjoyed: building and inventing.
The Turning PointSo, I started automating those boring parts.
What started as a handful of scripts quickly grew into something bigger. Over several years, XRobot became the backbone of the Robomaster Future Team at Qingdao University, and eventually spread to other university teams and companies who felt the same pain.
Today, XRobot is an open-source automation toolchain for embedded development—especially STM32 and C++—designed to help you move faster from idea to real hardware. It manages modules, generates C++ code, integrates with modern tools like CMake and VS Code, and supports real cross-platform development (not just Keil anymore).

XRobot is for anyone who’s tired of repeating themselves.If you want your projects to be more organized, modular, and easy to share, or if you just want to save time and energy for the parts that matter, I hope XRobot can help you too.
Final ThoughtsBuilding embedded systems should be creative, not tedious. That’s why I made XRobot—and I’m excited to see what you’ll build with it.
Let’s make embedded development more fun, together!
