3D-printed robotic turns into easier, smarter, and much more versatile
Nuremberg, November 11, 2025 +++ The fourth model of pib (printable clever bot) is now obtainable. The humanoid open-source robotic might be 3D-printed, constructed, programmed, and enhanced with AI by anybody. All 3D printing information and meeting directions are freely obtainable on the venture web site, with help and change supplied by a neighborhood of greater than 1,800 members. The venture has already acquired a number of prestigious awards, together with the German Design Award 2025 and the German Innovation Award 2025.
pib – the robotic from the 3D printer
The humanoid robotic pib was developed by isento GmbH in Nuremberg and is geared toward tech lovers, academic establishments, and maker communities. Utilizing an ordinary 3D printer, all mechanical elements might be produced. All STL information, materials lists, and detailed meeting guides are freely obtainable.
pib combines a modular humanoid construction with servo motors, sensors, and open software program elements. It may be printed, assembled, programmed, and customised. As an open-source venture, pib presents an accessible entry level into robotics and AI—free from excessive prices and proprietary methods. The worldwide neighborhood repeatedly drives its improvement ahead, making pib preferrred for makers, analysis, and schooling. The purpose: to make robotics and AI accessible to everybody and to decrease entry boundaries sustainably.
Simplified design because of neighborhood suggestions
The brand new model contains a considerably easier and extra versatile design. Motor calibration has been made simpler, and entry to the electronics and energy button is now extra handy. Many of those enhancements are direct outcomes of precious suggestions from the lively neighborhood.
New know-how and options
pib now features a microphone array that not solely improves audio high quality but additionally detects the route of sound. New audio system present a extra pure interplay expertise and have blue accent lighting as a design spotlight. Three programmable RGB buttons on the torso enable for customizable management instructions.
Open robotics for everybody
“With pib, we pursue the imaginative and prescient of creating robotics accessible to everybody. The brand new launch demonstrates how open supply drives innovation: a humanoid robotic that anybody can construct, lengthen, and perceive. We’re particularly proud that many enhancements got here straight from our neighborhood’s precious suggestions,” says Dr. Jürgen Baier, Co-Founder and CEO of pib.rocks.
From the workbench to the classroom
pib appeals equally to makers, robotics lovers, and AI tinkerers. Past that, the robotic is already being utilized in greater than 70 faculties and academic establishments—as a cross-disciplinary studying platform for future-focused matters reminiscent of robotics, 3D printing, and synthetic intelligence.
