Open Dynamic Robot Initiative

The Open Dynamic Robot Initiative (ODRI) is a multi-institutional collaboration about building open-source dynamic robot platforms at low cost. The low cost is achieved by using 3D printing techniques and off-the-shelf components. Multiple robots have been developed including manipulator platforms, quadrupeds and a biped. The instructions for buildings the robots can be found on GitHub and a forum is used to answer questions.
