3D-printed robotic turns into less complicated, smarter, and much more versatile

Nuremberg, November 11, 2025 +++ The fourth model of pib (printable clever bot) is now obtainable. The humanoid open-source robotic will be 3D-printed, constructed, programmed, and enhanced with AI by anybody. All 3D printing recordsdata and meeting directions are freely obtainable on the undertaking web site, with help and trade offered by a neighborhood of greater than 1,800 members. The undertaking has already obtained a number of prestigious awards, together with the German Design Award 2025 and the German Innovation Award 2025.

pib – the robotic from the 3D printer

The humanoid robotic pib was developed by isento GmbH in Nuremberg and is geared toward tech fans, academic establishments, and maker communities. Utilizing an ordinary 3D printer, all mechanical elements will be produced. All STL recordsdata, materials lists, and detailed meeting guides are freely obtainable.

pib combines a modular humanoid construction with servo motors, sensors, and open software program elements. It may be printed, assembled, programmed, and customised. As an open-source undertaking, pib provides an accessible entry level into robotics and AI—free from excessive prices and proprietary techniques. The worldwide neighborhood repeatedly drives its growth ahead, making pib ideally suited for makers, analysis, and schooling. The objective: to make robotics and AI accessible to everybody and to decrease entry obstacles sustainably.

Simplified design due to neighborhood suggestions

The brand new model contains a considerably less complicated and extra versatile design. Motor calibration has been made simpler, and entry to the electronics and energy button is now extra handy. Many of those enhancements are direct outcomes of worthwhile suggestions from the lively neighborhood.

New know-how and options

pib now features a microphone array that not solely improves audio high quality but additionally detects the route of sound. New audio system present a extra pure interplay expertise and have blue accent lighting as a design spotlight. Three programmable RGB buttons on the torso enable for customizable management instructions.

Open robotics for everybody

“With pib, we pursue the imaginative and prescient of creating robotics accessible to everybody. The brand new launch demonstrates how open supply drives innovation: a humanoid robotic that anybody can construct, prolong, and perceive. We’re particularly proud that many enhancements got here immediately from our neighborhood’s worthwhile suggestions,” says Dr. Jürgen Baier, Co-Founder and CEO of pib.rocks.

From the workbench to the classroom

pib appeals equally to makers, robotics fans, and AI tinkerers. Past that, the robotic is already being utilized in greater than 70 colleges and academic establishments—as a cross-disciplinary studying platform for future-focused subjects akin to robotics, 3D printing, and synthetic intelligence.
