We're starting to free the robot with the mechanical design.

We finally freed Asimov!

Day 213 of building Asimov, an open-source humanoid. We controlled Asimov v1 in Singapore from HCMC, Vietnam.

Teleop over 1100km👀

this is such a joy to see the progress these guys make on this robot

Thanks for the feature and the thoughtful breakdown, Stephen! Really appreciate the highlight. Super glad to see it resonating! 🚀

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.

It's official, the V1 mechanical details, STEP files, are now available for public review

Asimov is here.

A hackable, free, open-source humanoid for $15,000.

asimov v1 is a signal shift in robotics. not a demo robot. a reference humanoid you can actually build. what it is: • open-source humanoid platform → full mechanical + simulation stack released • 1.2m biped robot → ~35kg, 25+ degrees of freedom DIY or self-source → BOM +

Asimov v1 will be a milestone of the open-source community. They are creating a predictable and prosperous future.

This is how you navigate the Asimov v1 repo.

POV: You just found out you can build your own humanoid robot at home.

Open-source 1.2m humanoid robot built from 7075 aluminium github.com/asimovinc/asim…

The last piece to control Asimov v1 is now open-source. The Motion Control Board is what connects the compute module to motors and sensors. It's a carrier board for the Radxa CM5. Handles CAN, USB, Ethernet, RS485, and I2C. Onboard IMU. 5V power via XT30. KiCad files include

Been heads down on supply chain. QC starts in 2 weeks to finalize what's in the box, and we're on track to ship this summer.

Hiring a content manager in Singapore, fluent in new media. You'd work with me on videos, posts, and everything we put out about building Asimov and Menlo Research. Hungry to learn also works. DM me with your portfolio.

Asimov 1 is an open-source humanoid robot that you can build, customize and teach to do things. Shipping this summer as a DIY kit.
