Overview
Singapore-based applied R&D lab building Asimov, an open-source humanoid robot platform for builders, engineers, and researchers. Founded in 2023, Menlo Research develops both the hardware (DIY humanoid kits with full BOM, CAD files, and simulation models on GitHub) and software stack (Asimov OS, embodied AI). The company operates without external funding and has released a roadmap targeting state-of-the-art humanoid capabilities by Asimov 5. Its research includes world-encoder models (Kepler v0.1) and RL-based locomotion policies for sim-to-real transfer.
