While commercial humanoid robots from major tech companies often cost between $50,000 and $150,000+, pib (printable intelligent bot) is designed to be the world’s most accessible and affordable open-source humanoid robot platform.

By combining open-source software with DIY 3D printing and standardized electronics, pib reduces the cost of owning an articulated humanoid robot by over 90%:

The Cost to Build pib:

• 3D-Printed Structure: ~11 to 12 kg of PETG filament (approx. 200–250 €) printed on any standard desktop FDM 3D printer.
• Electronics & Mechanics (Non-Printable Parts): A complete hardware kit including the Raspberry Pi 5, depth camera, power supply, and all servo motors, bearings, and fasteners starts at 3.145 € (available as the all-in-one pib.Makerbox in our shop, or self-sourced via our open Onshape BOM).
• Software & CAD: 100% Free & Open-Source (AGPL-3.0). No mandatory software subscription fees or hidden licensing costs.

Why pib is the smartest choice for an affordable humanoid:

Unlike rigid, pre-assembled commercial robots, pib is a fully transparent, modular platform. If a part breaks or you want to upgrade a sensor, you simply 3D print a replacement for a few euros—making it the ideal solution for schools, universities, makers, and AI researchers on a budget.
