Overview
An expressive desktop robot with separate Wireless, USB-connected Lite and simulation setup routes. [S001]
The v1.11.0 overview gives three setup routes. Wireless uses a Raspberry Pi CM4, battery and Wi-Fi; Lite connects by USB to a computer and uses wall power. MuJoCo simulation is a third route requiring no physical robot. These have different host and power requirements, so use the guide for the actual platform. [S001] [S002]
The repository offers Python control examples and points web developers to JavaScript/WebRTC applications. Apps distributed through Hugging Face Spaces are separate artifacts: the core repository snapshot does not freeze every application, model or service an app may use. [S001]
Upstream estimates two to three hours to assemble a kit. That is an attributed estimate, not our measured setup time or evidence that app configuration is included. A complete delivered kit price and exact contents were not checked here. [S001]
Software uses Apache-2.0, while the README assigns hardware designs Creative Commons BY-SA-NC terms without specifying the version in that statement. The software license therefore cannot establish commercial hardware-manufacturing permission. Hardware artifact scope, complete dependency preservation and our support workload remain unresolved.
