Open-source robotics

An open source iCub robot mounted on a supporting frame. The robot is 104 cm high and weighs around 22 kg.

Open-source robotics is a branch of robotics where robots are developed with open-source hardware and free and open-source software, publicly sharing blueprints, schematics, and source code. It is thus closely related to the open design movement, the maker movement[1] and open science.
