Currito: A 3D printed Open-source Educational Robot
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Currito is a low-cost, 3D-printed robot developed for educational and professional purposes. It is provided along with a comprehensive open-source framework that contains the blueprints, quick-start codes and detailed guidelines in order to facilitate a straightforward replication and adaptation of the robot, enhancing the accessibility of existing human-robot interaction models. Currito’s design efficiently integrates mechanical and electronic components that enable a real-time interaction and an organic and realistic behavior of the robot, while allowing for a wide range of physical and morphological variations. This article outlines the design of Currito and showcases its capabilities through a practical implementation in a master’s-level robotics course at the University of Seville.
