Project OpaNoid is an teen to adult-sized humanoid robot designed for education and research. It is highly modular and can be modified on the fly using only simple tools such as hex-head screwdrivers.
-
Its chassis has been designed to be completely printed with using FDM 3D printing (the most accessible 3D printing technique at present)
-
By focusing on the humanoid form, greater attention can be paid to the key objectives of Project Opanoid; namely its variable mass distribution, variable dimensions, scalability (servos can be stacked to support higher torque requirements) and expandability (add-ons such as sensors can be added without modification to the core structure through the use of rail-mountings)
