Welcome to the world, Jimmy!

Meet Jimmy – the humanoid robot now crawling out of its creators imagination – and possibly all the way to your home.

Meet Jimmy – the humanoid robot now crawling out of its creators imagination – and possibly all the way to your home. ”The robots are here to stay, whether we like it or not”, someone said to me the other day. That certainly seems true as the consumer oriented robots are becoming more advanced day by day – and more easily available. Jimmy is an open source project and - according to its creators - filled with humanity. Quite a social being that is. Though surely a dog or a cat would make a cheaper pet (though not as fancy). Well, here you have it, the first robot platform to come from the 21st Century Robot Project, Jimmy the Research Humanoid. The 21st Century Robot project is the creation of Intel's Futurist Brian David Johnson and is the result of the collaboration of developers from USC, Olin College, and Trossen Robotics.
