Asimov DIY Kit (Here Be Dragons Edition)

Model: asimov-diy-kit-here-be-dragons-edition

Menlo Research's Asimov DIY Kit (Here Be Dragons Edition) is an open-source humanoid hardware kit aimed at advanced hobbyists, developers, and research teams who want to build and modify a full humanoid robot themselves. The kit ships unassembled and includes the structural frame, actuators, motors, sensors, wiring harness, assembly manual, and build videos, with the company positioning it as a faster path into the broader Asimov full-body platform. Official materials emphasize off-the-shelf parts, simple 3D-printable components, and an open hardware/software approach intended to make repair, modification, and iteration easier than on closed commercial humanoid platforms. The official manual frames Asimov 1 around data collection, basic teleoperated walking, Cloud API custom agents, and a Virtual Asimov digital twin, with hands/grippers, advanced locomotion, and onboard training explicitly out of scope.
