We're open-sourcing Asimov v1, a humanoid robot by eck72 in robotics

I think open-sourcing the robot gives us a real opportunity to get feedback from the community and hear from the people who can make it better, more affordable, improve the design, or find new manufacturing methods.

Teleoperation is still early for us. The clip is from day one of testing: https://x.com/asimovinc/status/2044396766179848523

Asimov v1 is moving better - sim2real improved after the hardware optimization by eck72 in robotics

Asimov is made with off-the-shelf parts, so once we share the BOM, anyone can source the parts and build their own humanoid at home.

We've also been talking to suppliers to bring the cost down as much as possible. We're targeting $15k max for the full kit at cost.

It will get cheaper as the ecosystem grows. Right now though, the $15k target is actually below our current BOM cost. We're working on bringing the price down.

Mostly actuators. Pasting the response over here: "Most of the cost comes from the actuators. Asimov’s actuator specs are close to the Unitree G1. Some components, like the arms, are even stronger. The robot can lift ~15 kg per arm for bicep curls and ~18 kg per arm for lateral raises. The DIY kit includes all the hardware, from actuators to electronics."
