How the mechanical, electrical, and software systems of Asimov 1 fit together.

Explore the mechanical, electrical, and software systems that make up Asimov 1.

Mechanical

The mechanical section explains how Asimov 1's modular body, 25 powered joints, and serviceable structure produce its physical form and movement.

Information covered

  • dimensions, weight, and body modules
  • joint layout, degrees of freedom, and motion ranges
  • actuator families and the parallel-ankle mechanism
  • materials, joint geometry, public CAD, and service points

Electrical

The electrical section follows power and data from the battery through the onboard computers, control electronics, sensors, media devices, and distributed actuators.

Information covered

  • battery configuration and power architecture
  • Radxa CM5 and Raspberry Pi 5 responsibilities
  • actuator power and CAN communications
  • IMU, camera, microphone array, and speaker hardware

Software

The software section explains how Asimov 1 turns commands into motion while returning robot state, video, and audio to an application.

Information covered

  • onboard compute and software responsibilities
  • included locomotion policy and firmware control modes
  • direct motor control, 10 Hz telemetry, video, and audio interfaces
  • simulation models, OTA updates, and Client SDK availability
