Overview

A 3D-printed open-source humanoid from Inria designed for research, education and art, with a multi-articulated trunk and a Python-first software stack. It walks only with assistance, so it belongs with the non-balancing robots. The project spun off into the Poppy Station community, and the files remain on GitHub.
