6FR — AURA-1
A six-foot humanoid platform with a clockwork-elastic musculature.
Where it stands: Design complete, not yet built
120 files of parametric CAD build package. Not yet under version control, and no physical unit has been assembled.
A complete parametric CAD package for a 1,828mm humanoid printed in PETG, using a clockwork-elastic musculature with rubber-band tension sensing and actuation. Every actuator and tension system is housed inside the structural skeleton rather than bolted to the outside.
This is the intended physical embodiment of the AURA architecture. It is also the least mature thing on this page, and is listed here as a design package rather than a robot, because that is what it currently is.
Next step
Put the build package under version control, then print and assemble a single limb to test the tension-sensing approach before committing to a full skeleton.
