## What it is
Poppy Humanoid is an open-source, 3D-printed humanoid robot platform combining hardware designs (STL/Solidworks files), software, and documentation. It is optimized for research and education, built around Robotis Dynamixel actuators and a Raspberry Pi board.

## Use cases
- build a 3D printed humanoid robot
- robotics research platform for experimentation
- teach robotics and bipedal locomotion in education
- download STL files to print robot parts
- program a humanoid robot with Python
- assemble an open-source robot from a bill of materials

## When to choose
- you want an open-source humanoid robot for research or teaching
- you need modular, hackable robot hardware with published designs
- you want a well-documented robot with assembly guides and a BOM

## When to avoid
- you need a cheap robot - full assembly costs $8000-9000
- you need industrial-grade or high-payload robotics
- you want an actively developed project - the latest release is from 2021

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: robotics, sdk, simulation
- domain: robotics, education, hardware
- platform: python, embedded, cross-platform
- tags: humanoid-robot, 3d-printing, open-source-hardware, dynamixel, raspberry-pi, research, education, linux
