Hugging face has just open sourced a humanoid robot hand that can be printed at home for 250$.

I'm wondering what would be the odds that by the end of the decade we could print a full humanoid bot?
To resolve YES, it should be possible to find the bill of materials, the CAD files, assembly guides and an open source ai model for the brain of the humanoid robot.
Update 2025-07-12 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): In response to a question, the creator has specified that the bot must be humanoid in shape and size.
Update 2025-07-13 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): In response to a user's request for stricter criteria, the creator has specified the bot must also meet the following conditions:
Be between 1.4-2 m in size.
Be able to stand, walk, and move in a general home environment.
Be able to communicate in natural language.
Be able to independently perform at least one house chore, such as washing dishes, doing laundry, cleaning the house, ironing, or cooking.

3.00I think this needs stricter criteria. Here's an open source humanoid robot that exists now.
Considering little people exist, it's kinda human sized.
Or this one from 2017:
You can upscale them slightly and get average human height, but you don't actually 3d print servos or electronics and those are the interesting bits. I don't really think the structural parts that you do print are what makes humanoid robots exciting.
I think it's much more about precise servos and software that allows them to do interesting things, rather than their shape and size. Bot 1 from my examples is much more interesting than bot 2, because it can actually do stuff.
@ProjectVictory quite cool!
I think the criteria should be:
Size between 1.4-2 m
Able to stand, walk and move in general home environments
Able to communicate in natural language
Able to do indipendently at least one house chore like washing dishes/loading/unloading wash machine, clean house, empty wash machine&fold clothes, iron clothes, cook etc.
What do you think?
@SimoneRomeo What are the requirements re 'printing it at home'? I.e. how 3D printable does it need to be? What components and skills and amount of work can be required to construct it?
