menlo.ai

Menlo Research's Asimov is an open-source bipedal humanoid (1.20 m, 35 kg, 25+ DOF) designed around Multi Jet Fusion 3D-printed structural components and off-the-shelf actuators, lowering replacement and repair costs. The platform uses a parallel Revolute-Spherical-Universal ankle system for improved torque distribution on uneven terrain. Full open-source repository includes mechanical CAD, electrical wiring, and a MuJoCo simulation model. The 'Here Be Dragons' DIY kit targets developers and research teams at $15,000, ships as an unassembled kit with assembly manuals and instructional videos.
