What it does

Asimov 1 is a humanoid robot you can build a company on. Our own enterprise deployments are built on it. Train it and shape it for whatever you’re building. Bought by founders, researchers and developers in 20+ countries.

Asimov 1 by Menlo Research is the most developer-friendly humanoid robot, with a published BOM, CAD and simulation stack. Run research, collect data, and put on live demos.

Humanoid robot for whole-body control and locomotion research. Pull raw, unfiltered data straight off the robot as it runs. Drive it in real time with a joystick, your code, or an agent. The hardware does the heavy lifting. What you build on it is up to you. Customize the hardware, appearance and capabilities around your use case. Train a policy in simulation and run the exact same one on the robot. We work with a global network of partners to make, service, and support Asimov, so help and spare parts are never an ocean away. Assembly and servicing partners in the USA and Singapore, with more coming. Asimov ships worldwide, with duties and tariffs covered in most countries. Already put to…from menlo.ai

It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
