Open Humanoid ROBOTIS AI Sapiens #3: Your Humanoid

Open Humanoid ROBOTIS AI Sapiens #3: Your Humanoid in 7 days

ROBOTIS HUMANOID AI Sapiens.

Open-Source Humanoid Platform for Physical AI powered by DYNAMIXEL-Q.

This video demonstrates how AI Sapiens learns and performs full-body humanoid motions in just one week using NVIDIA technologies. Powered by NVIDIA Jetson Orin™ NX, NVIDIA Isaac Sim™, SOMA Retargeter, and NVIDIA Kimodo, AI Sapiens performs walking, running, balancing, and various full-body motions through simulation, motion retargeting, and reinforcement learning.

Key Highlights:

Walking and Running in One Week
Full-Body Humanoid Motion Execution
Simulation-Based Training with NVIDIA Isaac Sim™
Motion Retargeting with SOMA Retargeter
Text-Generated Motions with NVIDIA Kimodo
Powered by NVIDIA Jetson Orin™ NX
Built on DYNAMIXEL-Q

The count heard at (0:15) serves as a synchronization signal for the humanoid robot. By using the countdown “둘 셋” (two, three) followed by the command “오케이” (0:18), the team coordinates the precise moment for the robot to initiate or transition into its programmed motion, ensuring the timing of its physical actions is consistent and accurate.

ROBOTIS AI Sapiens is an advanced, fully open-source humanoid platform designed for physical AI and robotics research. It stands 130 cm (4’3″) tall and features 23 degrees of freedom driven by custom Dynamixel-Q (QDD) actuators. The platform allows developers to deploy reinforcement and imitation learning models onto real hardware. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Key Hardware & Tech Specs

Actuators: In-house Dynamixel-Q modules for precise torque-level control and dynamic balancing.
Dimensions & Weight: 130 cm tall and weighs 34 kg.
Processing: Powered by an onboard 8-core ARM processor (with integrated GPU) to run deep learning policies locally.
Integration: Seamlessly connects with NVIDIA robotics tools (like NVIDIA Isaac Sim, Jetson Orin NX, and the Kimodo text-to-motion model) to generate movements from text prompts. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Open-Source Accessibility

As an open ecosystem, ROBOTIS provides researchers and developers with full access to hardware BoMs, STEP CAD files, simulation environments, and ROS 2 control source code. Pricing for the developer ecosystem is targeted at an accessible range of $7,000 to $8,700 USD. [1, 2, 3, 4]
