[CFC] Make a Creature with the Darwin Mini humanoid robot using a Raspberry Pi

Great project! You are probably already familiar with the following projects:

Heol, Mini humanoid

Hi ! We have created with @YusufGkl a mini-humanoid robot based on pypot library. The robot called Fendi has 23 DOFs (spine). For the moment, this is just a prototype based on the Darwin mini. In a 2 weeks, we will tested a new version, all of the parts (except pelvis) is optimize for maker’s 3d Printer and we haven’t parts of Darwin. We created standards parts to reduce the cost of the printing, for facilitate the build and the modifications. Fendi has not head actually, because we have a des…

New Mini Humanoid : Poppyrate!

Hi ! We are pleased to introduce to the Poppy Community and to the Flower Team our new poppy-based project: Poppyrate! Our Poppyrate is a 25 DOF robot, motorized with 23 XL-320 and 2 AX-12A. Our purpose is the same as the Poppy project’s one: Make accessible robotics through an Open-Source, 3D Printable, Transportable and Inexpensive robot. But unlike most projects and the INRIA, we are ZeCloud Robotics a little company of two employees. To reconcile our two opposite objectives, profit and popu…

It might be worth brainstorming with them, each project is different but you might all have converging ideas about why to build small humanoid creatures and share useful tips and advice.

I made a little OpenSCAD but I don’t know to use either SolidWorks neither FreeCAD, that’s why I need your help!

We recommend using onshape for your design, it is an online cloud CAD that we use a lot for other creatures. They also have very good tutorials if you want to learn. But I am sure you can find other members interested in an upgraded Darwin creature!
