MenloAI · Humanoid · 2026
Asimov is Menlo Research's (Singapore) open-source bipedal humanoid — a fully open reference design available as a DIY kit (~$15,000, near bill-of-materials cost) aimed at developers, researchers and advanced hobbyists. It stands 1.2m/35kg with 25+ DoF, handles dynamic moves like squatting and standing under load, and integrates sensors + compute in its head for local perception/control. Runs the Menlo Stack with hardware-level safety constraints and telemetry. Menlo deliberately avoids vertical integration — inviting vendors to sell Menlo-compatible humanoids. Targets ~$30k annual TCO. Specs captured into additional specs.
Price level: ★★☆☆☆
