Simone the A.I. Fembot

Let's Make Robots Robots
1

I am a humanoid robot builder. Simone is the latest in a long line of life-size humanoid robots that I have built over the years. (Although I love Simone Giertz's work, no, my Simone has nothing to do with her.)  This was built without a 3D printer using mostly off the shelf parts. A lot of hacking went into it.

I am documenting the build process in Servo Magazine.

Awesome. For what purpose did you build it? Was it an academic project or commercial one?

I built it to prove that I could do it. I saw Sophia the robot and thought to myself, “I can do that!”
