California University at Berkeley Unveils Berkeley Humanoid Lite Robot
California University at Berkeley has recently published the Berkeley Humanoid Lite, a result of their research and experiments in creating human-like robots. This robot is built using open-source software and adheres to the Open Hardware concept. Its hardware components are made from typical parts available for purchase and pieces produced using a 3D printer. Detailed information including machine training models, source code, schemes, a list of components, assembly plans, and 3D printing models can be found here.
Under the MIT license, the initial texts of the robot’s firmware and controllers can be found on its GitHub page. The robot utilizes a control low-level setup along with various external components for scenario development and movement simulation. It is built on frameworks like Isaac Lab, Isaac Sim, and Mujoco. Additionally, typical virtual reality controllers like Steamvr can be used for remote control.
