I’m a PhD student in robotics. For the past 3 years, I’ve been pursuing the journey of developing an open-source robot that’s perfect for beginners looking to dive into the world of robotics, yet packed with enough capabilities for advanced users to take it to the next level. I’m passionate about making robotics education accessible, and now that’s it done and ready, I’m thrilled to introduce this project to you.

The bot is a quadruped robot, that can shape-shift to humanoid and other forms. It has most peripherals commonly found in robotic projects, and enough for beginner to advanced-scale applications: WiFi, Bluetooth, motor controller, battery charger, speaker, microphone, inertial measurement unit, RGB LED matrix display, micro SD card, etc.

Some other advantages of this robot includes:

🔩 Modular Design: Easy to assemble and modify, easy to extend electronically and mechanically while still looking awesome (source all included)

📚 Educational Resources: Tutorials, docs, and online support for a smooth learning journey. We are targeting 200 lessons, and already at 20%. We also provide different engineering tracks to choose from: (1) robot kinematics and dynamics, (2) machine learning/AI and (3) IoT.

🤖 Convenience: The bot comes with a coding portal embedded, simply connect via WiFi and the portal will load up on any device, any browser. You can then go ahead and code your application (in Python!).

If you’re excited, check out the GitHub repository here for more details. The robot is open-source OSHWA certified!

To further fuel this journey (it’s been 3 years), we just launched a Kickstarter campaign for this robot. Your support means greatly, and I hope that this journey can continue through your help.

Thank you and I hope that this robot will benefit both newcomers of the field and veterans! 🤖🚀
