Want to Build Your Own Humanoid Robot?

Want to build your own humanoid robot? Silly question. Of course you do!

It has never been easier since InMoov has provided plans for an open source humanoid robot on their website. Crafted from parts made by a 3D Printer, InMoov has seen a number of improvements over the past few months. And all the failures and successes are placed online for all to see. Here's a video about InMoov.


Never seen a 3D Printer? Northeast Alabama Community College's drafting department has one. A few years ago you could expect to pay $50,000 for one. Today, consumer models are being sold for a small fraction of that price. What a great way to design and prototype parts.
