RoboTiz announced on the 3rd that it will fully disclose the software (SW) of its humanoid robot 'AI Sapiens' to foster an ecosystem where anyone can build humanoids.
To transparently reveal the internal operational principles of the robot, RoboTiz will open-source all driving codes. Users can directly verify the robot's control methods, freely modify the code according to their research or purposes, and immediately apply it to the robot. By adopting a license with minimal restrictions on commercial use, even if the open-source code is utilized to develop commercial products, no separate contract with RoboTiz is required.
The disclosed materials include the 'Sim2Real (Simulation-to-Reality Transfer)' tool and reinforcement learning workflow. The process of transferring the robot's walking capabilities from NVIDIA's simulation environment to the real world has been automated to maximize development convenience.
RoboTiz is currently running the 'OH!GYM! Project' for university students. Participants are provided with the AI Sapiens platform to collect various motion and control data from real-world scenarios and apply them to actual robots in a practical research process.
The company plans to sequentially disclose hardware-related materials, including mechanical design blueprints and electronic circuit data, starting with the full SW opening. The ultimate goal is to complete a fully open platform where users can build and modify humanoid robots from the ground up.
Kim Byung-soo, CEO of RoboTiz, stated, “We aim to create a virtuous cycle where globally verified technologies return to the platform, and South Korea will lead the global humanoid ecosystem.”
