El Greco

Abstract

In this paper, the humanoid robot named El Greco is presented (design, hardware and software). The humanoids from DARPA Robotics Challenge inspired us in many aspects, while at the same time the goal was to maintain a low cost and build a humanoid accordingly, so that we can create a model that is affordable and easy to build in order to be used by the youth. The entire assembly of the robot consists of parts such as limbs, head, body, legs and the base which are 3D printed. All the details over the design specifications and the problems incurred during the development of the humanoid are described under each module of the humanoid. Further details and results are given over the open source software of El Greco.
