Ep#67: Asimov - Open Source Humanoid

from RoboPapers Hosted by Chris Paxton

Robotics research is moving fast, and being able to modify and improve upon hardware is crucial to maintaining velocity. That’s why Menlo Research has started working on their own open-source humanoid project, Asimov. And they are moving fast. It’s been roughly six months since they started the project, and they already have full humanoid with arms, legs, and a head, which can walk forwards and backwards. Selim and Alejandro of Menlo Research join us to talk about the development of this open-source humanoid. Watch episode 67 of RoboPapers, with Chris Paxton and Jiafei Duan, now!
