Asimov 1 is an open-source 1.2 m, 35 kg humanoid robot with 25 actuated degrees of freedom, released under CERN-OHL-S for hardware and GPL-2.0 for software. The repository provides mechanical CAD, electrical CAD, simulation models, a bill of materials, and onboard software so builders can fabricate, assemble, simulate, and customize the robot themselves.

Use cases

  • build my own humanoid robot from open-source plans
  • self-source and fabricate a bipedal robot from a BOM
  • simulate a humanoid robot before building hardware
  • research platform for full-body robotic control
  • customize an open humanoid robot for experiments
  • learn how humanoid robot motion control works

When to choose

  • you want a fully open-source humanoid with complete CAD, electrical, and software design files
  • you need a research or education platform for bipedal robotics
  • you want to modify or extend a serviceable, modular robot design

When to avoid

  • you need a ready-made, fully supported commercial robot with polished software out of the box
  • you lack fabrication resources - parts require CNC machining and MJF printing, or a $20,000 DIY kit
  • you need advanced perception like lidar or 360 cameras, which are not included
