## What it is
Berkeley Humanoid Lite is the open-source codebase for a sub-$5,000 3D-printed humanoid robot platform from UC Berkeley. It includes Isaac Lab environments for reinforcement learning policy training, sim2sim validation, real-robot deployment, motion capture, and teleoperated manipulation.

## Use cases
- train humanoid locomotion policies with reinforcement learning
- deploy RL policies from simulation to real humanoid hardware
- validate policies across simulators before hardware deployment
- teleoperate a humanoid robot for manipulation tasks
- export robot descriptions (URDF, MJCF, USD) from Onshape CAD
- build a low-cost open-source humanoid robot for research

## When to choose
- you want an affordable, open-source humanoid robotics research platform
- you need a full sim-to-real pipeline for legged/humanoid locomotion
- you want to customize or extend a 3D-printed humanoid design
- you are doing RL-based locomotion research with Isaac Lab

## When to avoid
- you need a high-payload industrial humanoid or commercial-grade hardware
- you only want a simulator without real robot deployment
- you are not prepared to fabricate 3D-printed parts and assemble hardware
- you need closed-source turnkey humanoid products with vendor support

## Facets
- artifact type: library
