How much does one complete pib weigh?

The 3D printed parts alone weigh about 5 kg. Add the non-printable parts such as the display, motors, screws, etc. and one complete pib weighs approximately 7.5 kg.

What are the dimensions of the robot?

pib is a humanoid robot. We try to orient ourselves on the human model; therefore, the upper body is the size of an average human. To be exact, the upper body and head in the current version of pib are 89 cm tall, 56 cm wide and 18 cm deep. The arms are 68 cm long.

What can pib do? What central functions does the robot have?

pib has a camera that acts as a central sensor with which it can interact with people. This enables the robot to move its joints. In the fully developed version, pib can control up to 30 motors. A particular highlight is the ability to recognize and imitate hand movements through the camera. This is not only the most striking feature, but also the most emotional approach to the robot's capabilities, as it allows it to imitate human gestures. In addition to the camera, pib has speakers, microphones and a display to show information. The combination of camera and microphone has enabled us to develop an effective voice assistant. You can ask the robot questions and receive natural, spoken answers. You can even define characters for pib and have the robot reply in the according manner. We are convinced that this form of interaction, where you can ask the robot questions or give it tasks in a human way, will be very important. For example, you could ask pib: "Get me a coffee" or "Where are my keys?" - These are typical requests that the robot will hopefully be able to answer in the future.

pib is a 3D-printable, humanoid open-source robot that anyone can build themselves using their own 3D printer. pib is primarily intended as a platform for technology enthusiasts. Anyone who has always wanted their own robot can build a low-cost system with pib. pib has also been very well received in the education sector: 35 schools in Germany are now using pib in various projects. As part of a school year - whether in a class group or a cross-grade P-seminar - the students assemble the robot step by step. They start the school year with an empty table and end up with their own humanoid robot.
