Humanoid robots aren’t just for mega-corps and secretive startups. In this issue of Make:, we show you how to use AI programs and open source plans to experiment and build your own humanoid helpers right now! In our cover story, build VoxHead, a fully animated, embodied AI, humanoid head from scratch. Last summer, Make: editor Keith Hammond and I spent a day visiting two humanoid robotics startups, Kind Humanoid and K-Scale Robotics. Both were working out of garages, one in Palo Alto and the other in Menlo Park. The obvious takeaway was that we are seeing a new generation of robots “with AI for brains.” As one founder explained, AI robots that are able to think can also decide to perform an action in the real world. It moves AI into a physical body that occupies the same space that we do. These humanoid robots will have legs, and arms with hands, and this presents many design challenges, as Benjie Holson writes in “Anatomy of a Humanoid Robot” (page 26). In this issue we get our hands on the technology of robot motion, like inverse kinematics (page 44), QDD actuators (page 38), and FOC motor control (page 112).
