Open Source Bipedal Robot

Open source hardware and software are essential to develop an open source robot.

Open source bipedal robot. One surprising conclusion is that going the open source route does mean cheap. This little humanoid is from the poppy project an open source platform for the creation use and sharing of interactive 3d printed robots. It can walk around while avoiding obstacles using an ultrasonic range sensor. Hobbyists can downsize the robots and customize their shape to use fewer and smaller servo motors.

Robots are powerful tools to learn and be creative. Several software development tools have already been covered e g the robot operating systems and simulators like gazebo. There is a lot to be said for running and developing on the same hardware. The korean engineer of spotmicro deok yeon kim designed each component very close to the original but using common components like servo motors and arduino mega his contributions are welcome to all robotics enthusiast that were waiting for an opensource robot similar to the famous robot.
