Two years ago, I started The Bimo Project with one goal: create affordable bipedal pet robot companions for people who can't have traditional pets. Along the way, something bigger emerged...In this video I talk about:
- The Bimo Project
- The pivot from "companion robot" to "open-source research platform"
- The technical breakthrough: reinforcement learning + sim-to-real transfer
- The Bimo Project mission: democratizing robotics innovation
The Challenge:High-quality bipedal robots are either expensive, closed-source or inaccessible. Researchers, makers, and developers need affordable platforms to experiment, learn, and build.The Solution:A fully open-source robotics kit with a pre-configured reinforcement learning pipeline in Isaac Lab. Train in simulation. Deploy to hardware. No adaptation needed.
