pib#4

pib#4 is our latest basic humanoid robot (released 2025), designed as an accessible entry point into humanoid robotics. It is ideal for hobbyists, makers, and educational use in schools and universities.

With pib#4, you can build and program your own DIY humanoid robot step by step. The platform is designed for learning and experimentation, while still offering enough flexibility for more advanced robotics projects.

The manuals on this site guide you through the complete build process using a pib.Edubox or pib.Makerbox.

If you are looking for a more powerful and precise humanoid robot, see pib.Advanced.

If you would like to build an older version of pib, you can find the archive here.
