🤖 Berkeley Unveils Fully Open Source Humanoid Robot for Under $5000
The team from Berkeley has introduced the Berkeley Humanoid Lite — a fully open-source humanoid robot that can be printed on a regular 3D printer. All components are available online, and the final cost is under $5000.
The main feature of the project is modular cycloidal reducers that address the strength issues of plastic parts. The platform includes open hardware and software, as well as tools for training models based on reinforcement learning.
This is an important step towards making humanoid robots accessible to all researchers and enthusiasts. Just $5000! When will someone code a robot that cleans up after my kids?
