Poppy Humanoid 3D-Printed Open-Source Robot Platform

  When ever I see any humanoid robot model, I always wonder if its not possible to replace all those motors with a single powerful one and somehow direct the power to all those joints.

    I bet if you tried that the design of the gearing and transmission systems would be super complicated though.

    That's usually done using muscle-like hydraulic or pneumatic actuators, with one central pump and pipes/tubes to direct the pressure to different pistons/actuators. http://sreal.eecs.ucf.edu/people/phd/rpillatproject8.php http://sreal.eecs.ucf.edu/people/phd/rpillatproject8.php

  Over 8000€ for the diy kit. Are there any similar projects more oriented to hobbyists?
