Project Description
This project focuses on designing and fabricating a humanoid bipedal lower body (40-50 cm height) inspired by open-source humanoid platforms such as Asimov. Students will develop a mechanically feasible lower-body humanoid structure capable of replicating human leg kinematics using Hip (Roll + Pitch), Knee (Pitch), and Ankle (Pitch) joints.
The project emphasizes CAD-based mechanical design, lightweight modular 3D-printed structures, actuator integration, and kinematic validation rather than full autonomous locomotion. Mentees will work on joint architecture, structural optimization, and prototype assembly to create a functional humanoid lower-body platform.
The goal is to provide hands-on experience in humanoid mechanical design and robotic prototyping.
