The Open Robot Actuator Hardware repository contains open-source mechanical and electronic designs for a low-cost, torque-controlled modular robot actuator built from brushless motors, 3D-printed and off-the-shelf parts. It includes designs for complete robots such as the Solo8/Solo12 quadrupeds, the Bolt biped, TriFingerEdu manipulator, and various leg and actuator modules.

Use cases

• build your own open-source quadruped robot
• low-cost torque-controlled actuator module for legged locomotion research
• 3D printed robot designs for university robotics labs
• open hardware electronics for brushless motor control
• reproduce a research robot platform from open drawings
• build a biped or finger manipulator from open-source parts

When to choose

• you want to physically build a torque-controlled legged robot or manipulator from open designs
• you need low-cost, reproducible actuator hardware for locomotion or reinforcement-learning research
• you want complete mechanical drawings and electronics schematics under a permissive BSD-3 license

When to avoid

• you only need robot simulation or control software without building hardware
• you need a ready-made commercial robot rather than a DIY build
• you expect a software library - this repo is hardware designs, with software hosted in sibling repositories
