ProjectAbout
The Poppy Project is an open-source platform designed for creating and sharing interactive 3D printed robots. It was initially developed at Inria's Flowers laboratory and is now managed by Poppy Station. The project aims to foster creativity and innovation in robotics by providing accessible tools for both beginners and experts. It includes a community-driven forum and GitHub repository for sharing and contributing to the project. Poppy robots, such as the Humanoid and Torso models, are designed using 3D printed parts and Dynamixel motors. They are controlled by a Python library called Pypot and can be programmed using visual languages like Scratch and Snap!, or through a REST API. The platform supports educational and research applications, allowing users to experiment with different robot morphologies and behaviors. The open-source nature of Poppy encourages collaboration and innovation across various fields, including science, education, and art.
