DARwIn-OP

DARwIn-OP (Dynamic Anthropomorphic Robot with Intelligence – Open Platform) is a small open-source humanoid research robot developed collaboratively by Virginia Tech (RoMeLa), Purdue University, University of Pennsylvania, and ROBOTIS (South Korea), with NSF funding. Standing approximately 18 inches tall and weighing ~6 lbs, it features 20 degrees of freedom driven by DYNAMIXEL MX-28T servo motors and is designed as a programmable research and education platform for AI, gait, vision, and inverse kinematics research. It has won the RoboCup Kid Size League in 2011, 2012, and 2013. The extracted facts also contain substantial information about other ROBOTIS products (GAEMI delivery robots, AI Sapiens K0, NimbRo-OP) that are distinct systems, not DARwIn-OP itself. As a research/competition platform, DARwIn-OP executes its tasks (locomotion, soccer, demonstrations) autonomously without a human performing or driving those tasks.
