We're open-sourcing Asimov Legs, a bipedal robotic system. It's a complete leg design with 6 DOF per leg, RSU ankle architecture, passive toe joints. Built with off-the-shelf components and compatible with MJF 3D printing. What we're open-sourcing & sharing: - Full mechanical CAD (STEP files) - Actuators list - XML files for simulation (MuJoCo) Repo for all: If you want to support the project, visit for partnership DM us.

We're open-sourcing Asimov v1, a humanoid robot. With Asimov v1, you can build, train on, and make it your own humanoid robot. It's the first step of building a humanoid labor force for the rest of us. Asimov v1 is 1.2 m tall, 35 kg, with 25 actuated degrees of freedom. Structural parts machined in 7075 aluminium and 3D-printed in MJF PA12 nylon. We're releasing the mechanical design and simulation files. Ready for locomotion policy training out of the box. The BOM is open too. Source everything yourself, or order the DIY Kit. All components, ready to assemble. $499 deposit, $15,000 target price. Ships end of summer 2026. GitHub: Manual: DIY Kit: Most humanoid robots are controlled by the companies that build them. Asimov v1 is built for the rest of us. Build it, test it, and share your feedback with the community.

Asimov 1 is built to hack. It ships with a basic policy to control the robot, but you can customize it however you want.

It's time to Free the Robot. We removed Asimov from the harness yesterday. It can now walk independently without any external support. Ready to open-source the first components in a few days.
