Event
Asimov open-sources v1 humanoid robot hardware and software
Key points
- Asimov released v1 as an open-source humanoid robot containing mechanical CAD, electrical CAD, simulation model, and onboard software.
- The public manual positions Asimov v1 as a 1.2 m, 35 kg reference humanoid for builders, engineers, and researchers who want to build and train the robot themselves.
- It matters because this is a first-party open hardware/software research platform release rather than a conventional sales launch.
Company context
Asimov is an open-source humanoid robotics project aiming to provide a reference hardware and software platform for bipedal robots. It has been profiled as a new company focused on robot training data and autonomous systems alongside humanoid development. Specific corporate details (headquarters, incorporation, team) are sparse in public sources; a Y Combinator listing places an entity called "Asimov" in San Francisco, focused on robot data infrastructure and humanoid robotics work.
