467 stars on GitHub. The Modular Bipedal Robot is an open-source 3D-printable companion robot from MakerForge Tech / Aaron Mason, built around a Raspberry Pi + Arduino split. The repo includes the full STL set for the v2 body, head, neck, and legs, plus a modular Python/C++ software framework with drop-in modules for vision, speech, motion detection, GPT chat, NeoPixel LEDs, RTL-SDR, and more.
