SMRTR summary
Berkeley Humanoid Lite, a new open-source humanoid robot, has been unveiled by UC Berkeley. This customizable, 3D-printable robot costs under $5,000 to build, making it significantly more accessible than commercial alternatives. It uses 3D-printed cycloidal gearboxes for its motors, providing a robust and affordable solution. Standing 2.6 feet tall and weighing 35 pounds, the robot can walk, hop, and be remotely controlled. The project aims to democratize humanoid robotics research by providing freely available designs, code, and resources on GitHub.
