Opsoro offers an open platform for the creation of social robots. It uses an innovative modular system design that allows the creation of different embodiments to represent animatronic creatures that focus on face-to-face communication. Our goal is to create different robotic characters that can be used in semi-controlled interactions and scenarios, typically within the context of therapeutics, education or entertainment.
The Opsoro platform greatly reduces costs and time to design and build social robot characters that fit your needs. This is realised by using laser cutting and 3D printing (FDM) to produce all necessary parts. The digital manufacturing facilitates easy sharing, reproduction and customisation of the parts. What about meeting the Opsoro family and use one of our friends to assist in your research? Or why not create your own friend?
