How a humanoid is built

Interactive exhibits from Core Matter's component research, from the whole robot down to the supply chain behind a single joint. Each one names its sources.

01 / exploded view

Inside a whole humanoid

The open-source Asimov humanoid from Menlo Research, pulled apart into its structure, actuators and electronics. Rotate it, isolate a subsystem, and read what each part does.

02 / actuator

Actuator Explorer

A planetary actuator in 3D. Isolate the motor, gears, electronics and output, switch between assembled and exploded views, and watch the gears turn.

03 / supply chain

The actuator economy

Follow a robot joint upstream to the processes, materials and suppliers behind it: the magnet to its rare earths, the gear to the machine that cuts it.

New exhibits ship in the weekly note.

The quotes, filings and teardowns behind each exhibit publish there first, along with the next platform map when the sourcing lands.
