Meet Jimmy: Intel's walking, talking, programmable robot

There is no doubt that the future of robotics is 3D printing and open-source license for both software and hardware. Such robots are already a reality as we had already reported. This group of alternatives to Nao the humanoid from Aldebaran Robotics has grown a little more bigger with advent of Jimmy (see Videos 1, 2 and 3). Jimmy can walk fast and have smooth movements, at least for upper limbs. He also comes with voice synthesis (as demoed in Video 1) and thus fulfills part of the goal of being social.

The concept of Jimmy is the brain child of Intel futurist Brian David Johnson (see Video 4). Both the use of 3D printers and making everything open source were there from Jimmy's inception. The whole idea of this "21 century robot" is described in a free book that is aimed to be collaborative too. It builds on science fiction stories that serve as guidelines for developers willing to contribute to Jimmy's development.

This first version of Jimmy can already be bought from Trossen Robotics. But, only research labs can afford its $16000. The reason behind this high price tag is the quality of the hardware (see Table 1). It includes dynamixel servos and an Intel NUC single board computer with an i5 processor, 4GB of RAM and 32GB of hard drive. The operating system is a ful Linux Ubuntu. Besides, Jimmy has USB and HDMI connectors that allow connecting a mouse, a keyboard, and a monitor, making development and test much more easier.

Created by the research team Inria Flowers Lab (Bordeaux-France), Poppy is an affordable and hackable humanoid robot made with robust and flexible hardware. It uses off-the-shelf components (motors and electronics) and 3D printed limbs to make it available for a large audience.

Poppy has bended legs, multi-articulated trunk and soft body, and this design increases robustness, agility and stability during the walking. All mechanical parts were designed to optimize weight and make the Poppy robot as light as possible. The obtained mass reduction allows the use of less powerful and light motor. Parts are 3D printed using polyamide material and selective laser sintering techniques.

To make Poppy widely accessible, the team tried to keep the cost as low as possible. The overall materials needed to build your own Poppy robot costs around €7,500 /$10,250 (including motors, electronics and 3D printed parts), while some other robots, Darwin-OP or Nao from Aldebaran can cost around $12,000.
Specifications:

Dimensions: H:84 W:25 T:10 (cm)

Mass: 3.5 kg

Motors: 21x Robotis Dynamixels MX-28, 2x Robotis Dynamixels MX-64, 2x Robotis Dynamixels AX-12

Options: 16x Forces sensors (FSR), 2x PS Eye, 1x IMU (9DDL), 4.3″ LCD 480 x 272 px, Stereo Micros, Raspberry Pi

Cost: 7500-8000€

Assembly Time: 2-3 days

Poppy is still under development, the team plans to make both software and hardware available under an open source licence for academics, artists and geeks. 75% of total work is done, they currently limit the diffusion to chosen beta testers. If you are interested in building your own Poppy or if you want access to the CAD files, check out the Poppy Project website.

Thanks to Nootrix for the tip!

Is this robot programmable in python? Thanks.

Wow a real 3D printed robot. I wonder if we're going towards the point of singularity where humans will be taken over by robots.

To start building InMoov, you will need a 3D printer with at least 12 x 12 x 12 volume of printing. Some parts might exceed of few millimiters. ABS is better but some guys do it also with PLA.
Electronic : Arduino uno and Mega microcontroler
Servo motors : HK15298B, Hitec HS805BB and MG996
Software : MyRobot Lab and python scripting

It does not require particular skills. You will learn making it.
A good starting point if you have no experience with servomotors or/and arduino is to makethe finger starter kit. If you can do it, you are ready to build a full InMoov robot 🙂

Project is splitted, you can start by whatever you want. You will find many ressources on our forum and community on our site and on many websites. Let us know if you start an InMoov by registering on the Community. You can also put your location on the World Map and discover InMoov builders near you.
