New Version of the 3D Printable Humanoid Robot  pib To Be Released in August

At the last Robotics Meetup Nuremberg, significant updates about the humanoid robot pib were announced: a new version is set to be released in August. 


Changes from Last Year’s Version: 

Stylish Design: The upper body has been redesigned to be more stylish, with hidden screws and motors, and no loose cables. 

Easier Assembly: The new version offers simpler assembly. 

Enhanced Motors: The shoulders are now equipped with stronger motors.

Improved Imitation Feature: Previously, pib could only follow horizontal  movements. The updated version can also follow vertical movements.

Upgraded Electronics: The electronics have been upgraded to a Raspberry  Pi 5. 

Dockerization: pib is now dockerized, allowing installation on various  software systems. This was a community effort, especially during the last  hackathon. 

Digital Twin: A digital twin has been developed, enabling simulations and  machine learning. 

Continuity and Compatibility 

Not everything has changed. The camera and display remain the same, and efforts  have been made to maintain compatibility with the previous version. Updated tutorials  are being prepared to ensure easy assembly. 

The meetup also featured a guest speaker from EduArt Robotik, who introduced EduArt, the robot. After the presentations and discussions, everyone enjoyed pizza and drinks while networking with fellow robotics enthusiasts.
