Meet Asimov

Asimov v1 An open-source DIY humanoid kit you can build at home. Price goal $15,000, available to pre-order for a refundable $499 - 1.2m (3'11"), 35kg (77 lb), 25+2 DOF - Ships this summer with the full BOM, CAD files, sim environment, and a pre-trained walking policy, all on GitHub - 50–100 hours to assemble

The Humanoid Hub

@TheHumanoidHub

Humanoids are getting their first true kit. @asimovinc V1 is a 1.2 meter, 35 kilogram biped with 25 actuated joints, full mechanical and simulation files on GitHub, and a DIY kit targeting a 15,000 dollar build cost. Most fleets are locked inside proprietary programs; Asimov is handing the hardware to anyone willing to build, train, and experiment.

Robotico

@roboticomarket

Initiatives like this are key to robot adoption at scale. Humanoid or not — the hardware that has the most user input is the one that will be best. That means inevitably, open source design will win. Just like what Meta did with the Open Compute Project.

We are in 1st half of 2026 and we can now preorder diy-kit of robot and train it or build around it just insane ⁉️

The ankle inversion/eversion is done in a really unique way — this is interesting.

Humanoid look awesome! Would love to see flexibility and human walk mimicry. Keep pushing!

Viraj

@virajdeshwall

The most Real Steel moment in robotics right now, and almost nobody's talking about it. This is Asimov 1, suspended on a safety rig, being trained by someone sitting a few feet away — headset on, laptop open, feeding it movement data one session at a time.

🙌 Yes, this! Open hardware, open software and models, and DIY kits are the only way to do robotics.

looks gorgeous. nice touch with the gantry eyelets

Asimov is looking really slick - amazing price for a full humanoid robot that's totally open source

Asimov v1 just got open-sourced. A 1.2m, 35kg humanoid with 25 DoF, full CAD, MuJoCo sim model, locomotion stack, and a $15k DIY kit. This might be the DeepSeek moment for humanoid robotics - and almost no one is talking about why it actually matters. 🧵

Seven months in and its a real, walking humanoid with head and arms

asimov v1 is a signal shift in robotics. not a demo robot. a reference humanoid you can actually build. • open-source humanoid platform → full mechanical + simulation stack released • 1.2m biped robot → ~35kg, 25+ degrees of freedom • DIY or self-source → BOM + CAD + simulation available • real hardware stack → aluminum structure, modular actuators, ROS2-based control • simulation included → MuJoCo model for training and testing before hardware

May the 4th be with you - Happy Star Wars day! What if your robot could look like anything?

My 6 year keeps asking if we can build a robot together like we do Lego models...

Asimov is one the best references to start in Humanoids

@AkashChikkam

The next chapter of evolution may be engineered rather than inherited. Open-source robotics gives builders around the world a chance to help write it.

Should I buy one What a flex this would be. Recording a video with one of these bad boys in the background Literally use it just as a prop

When I was young we only had blocks, Lincoln Logs and Erector Sets My how things have changed

@PlanetarySeed

So we can now customize our humanoids appearance. Can't wait to see some amazing designs
