SamuRoid Pi humanoid
- A Raspberry Pi 4-powered humanoid robot called SamuRoid was built with 22 degrees of freedom and ROS support. - It carries a 1080p wide-angle camera mounted on a 2-DOF gimbal with 170° field of view. - The project includes dual-band Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, an MPU6050 IMU, and multimodal LLM support for perception and control (cnx-software.com).
SamuRoid is a Raspberry Pi 4–powered humanoid robot with 22 degrees of freedom that runs Robot Operating System (ROS) and supports multimodal large language models. (cnx-software.com) A humanoid robot is a bipedal machine that uses sensors, actuators and on-board compute to perceive environments and move in human-like ways. (britannica.com) Shenzhen Xiao R GEEK (XiaoR GEEK) developed SamuRoid and the design was published in late April 2026; the platform centers on a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B as its control core. (cnx-software.com) The robot carries a 1080p wide-angle camera mounted on a 2‑degree-of-freedom gimbal with a stated 170° field of view and includes an MPU6050 inertial measurement unit for motion sensing. (lunar.computer) SamuRoid ships with ROS (Melodic on Ubuntu 18.04 in documentation), OpenCV vision stacks, and interfaces for cloud or local LLMs to drive perception and natural-language control. (hackaday.io) The company positions the platform for researchers, educators and RoboCup-style robotics teams, and the project is described as open-source with Python and C++ programming interfaces. (hackster.io) Hardware details reported include 22 bus servos (XRS series with ~30 kg·cm torque in listings), a roughly 2.3 kg aluminum alloy frame, dual‑band Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth 5.0 and a full set of broken-out GPIOs for expansion. (hackaday.io) XiaoR GEEK lists SamuRoid through its product pages and third‑party retailers now, with technical documentation and software repositories linked by the vendor for download.
