An inter-university collaboration building a quadruped, then a biped, on the path toward an open-source humanoid robot.
CCBR (ESRA) brings together students from Columbia, Caltech, Berkeley, and Rutgers. The current quadruped is the first milestone, followed by a biped and ultimately a humanoid platform.
Members collaborate across schools while gaining hands-on experience in mechanical design, CAD, fabrication, controls, and system integration.
The project spans the complete robot stack, giving members room to specialize while still seeing how every subsystem comes together.
Design and build the structure with 3D printing, CNC milling, SolidWorks, and Fusion 360.
Develop simulations and reinforcement-learning-based control systems.
Design PCBs and map the robot's electronics and wiring.
Each iteration turns ambitious legged-robotics research into accessible, documented hardware that future student teams can continue to improve.
The team is open to anyone! No prior experience is necessary. As always, bring curiosity and a willingness to participate with us.
