We're WiscoHumanoids, we just launched this year in January and we've already made a ton of progress to showcase in the UW-Madison yearly Engineering Expo!

Our software group has three primary teams: the manipulation team currently focuses on teaching a simpler robot to perform basic tasks; the ROS team is responsible for our full software architecture; and the locomotion team is training OpenSource robots to walk in simulation.
29 DOF, 4’5 currently. Likely going to add 2 neck DOFs to match the exact camera perspective of a human user collecting data with UMI.
2 Layer Compute Architecture
(Jetson Thor + Rockchip)
Ethercat communication
Hardware Sync’d Cameras (Planning for 2 wrist 2 head)
Day 1:
Drafted up PDB Schematic(Temp pin headers for power rail) (By Malcolm Mohr)
Grinding through the CAD for the rest of the humanoid
Revising our vision architecture to hardware sync our cameras
Redesigning wrist to be a spherical wrist to minimize retargeting for UMI
First look at the initial draft of the legs that will carry the nation's first student-led, full SOTA humanoid robot! Lots of improvements under way.
Architecture:
FAR Hips
RSU Linkage for ankles
“If we can build the [nation’s] first or second humanoid robot, we'll suddenly have one of the most prepared student bodies in the world to go fill this massive billion dollar market.” — @Wiscohumanoids in the @dailycardinal

Had a great first meeting of the semester detailing all the projects needed to build a full humanoid.
We have wide scope, and ambitious goals. Time to make our goals a reality!
