Poppy is an open source platform dedicated to the conception of animated robotic creature.
The first and most advanced creature is the fully 3D printed Poppy Humanoid.
Poppy Humanoid is an open-source and 3D printed humanoid robot. Optimized for research and education purposes, its modularity allows for a wide range of applications and experimentations.

Building a complete Poppy Humanoid cost $8000-9000 with about 60% for uying the 25 Robotis Dynamixel actuators required. The full BOM is available here >> Bill Of Material
Then the process to assemble a complete Poppy Humanoid takes about 7h for handyman people. Yet the skills required are very limited and should not be a problem for anyone able to hold a screwdriver.
The assembly process is fully documented with video tutorials.

The Poppy project is born in 2012 in the Flowers laboratory at Inria Bordeaux Sud-Ouest. It was initiated during Matthieu Lapeyre's PhD Thesis surpervised by Pierre Yves Oudeyer. At the beginning, the development team was composed by Matthieu Lapeyre (mechanics & design), Pierre Rouanet (software) and Jonathan Grizou (electronics).
This project is initially a fundamental research project financed by ERC Grant Explorer to explore the role of embodiement and morphology properties on cognition and especially on the learning of sensori-motor tasks.
