Duke Humanoid V2

Animal design is a class of existing solutions to biological problems. Robots are not constrained to the same. The Duke Humanoid V2 loosely follows bipedalism and bimanualism, but it is built for multidirectional work, with two independently actuated cameras and nearly symmetric joint actuation across the whole body.

We introduce Visible-Reachable Workspace (VRW) as a design principle: the region a robot can simultaneously reach and see. Design for the overlap.
