This is the little sibling (sister?) of the Poppy Humanoid robot developed by the Poppy Project team.
At this moment it is in alpha stages and the only thing that can be promissed is that it doesn't catch fire in the first 2 hours of (very limited) operation. Those that are interested to participate in the development of this robot are wellcome, but I cannot stress ehough that things are not in a final form and most of the work involved is not trivial in nature. In time we expect certain items to be provided ready-made instead of needing to hack them from scratch, therefore simplifying the construction.
Before going into the details of the project there are a few documents that may be useful to read:
- [Torque and design]: a document that explains the main assumption behind the belief that Poppy Seed will work.
- [High level design]: the main design considerations for Poppy Seed.
- [3D Printing guide]: as one of the goals of Poopy Seed is to be printed on a home 3D printed, I included in this document the main tips about printers, materials, finishing and others.
Here are the main links to the project:
- BOM. The list of parts needed for the building of a Poppy Seed robot
- 3D Model. This is the link to the OnShape 3D model of the Poppy Seed robot. You can access it freely and in case you want to participate in the development, please send me a share request.
- [3D Parts](hardware/3d parts/). This is the main page for the STLs for the robot.
- Assembly guide. This is the entry page for the robot assembly guide.
- Electronics. This is the entry page for the electronics used in the project. Please read carefully before starting this project.
- [Setup]. A document providing the steps needed to setup the robot for use.
