Anyone who has ever attempted to build a bipedal robot for RoboCup knows the "Development Purgatory." You spend six months just trying to keep the thing upright, wrestling with Inverted Pendulum models and PID tuning, only to realize you haven't even touched the soccer logic or AI vision.

We’ve been there. And we decided to fix the hardware barrier.

Enter SamuRoid: The 22-DOF Shortcut to the Pitch

We are officially announcing the SamuRoid platform’s optimization for the RoboCup Singapore Open 2026. This isn't just a "toy" robot; it's an open-architecture development beast designed to get you straight into high-level strategy and AI deployment.

• 22 Degrees of Freedom (DOF): Full human-like range of motion for complex maneuvers and rapid recovery from falls.
• XRS300 High-Torque Servos (≥30kgf.cm): The muscle behind the movement. High precision, high heat dissipation, and the strength needed for explosive kicks.
• Onboard Intelligence: Powered by Raspberry Pi 4B, integrated with an MPU6050 6-axis gyro for real-time self-balancing and gait correction.

We know the Hackaday community loves control. That’s why SamuRoid is built on Ubuntu + ROS Melodic.

• Open CV Integration: Ready-to-use autonomous ball tracking and QR code localization.
• Kinematics: Pre-configured inverse kinematics (IK) so you can focus on where the foot goes, not the trigonometry of how it gets there.
• LLM Ready: Compatible with DeepSeek/Doubao APIs for team-robot interaction.

Why this matters for RoboCup 2026 (Science Centre Singapore)

Autonomous Decision Making and Team Collaboration. If you are still debugging your walking gait in March, you’ve already lost.

SamuRoid provides a "Competition-Ready" baseline. You get a stable walk, a powerful kick, and a vision system that works out of the box—giving you a year of head-start to develop custom offensive and defensive algorithms.

🛠 Get Involved / Dev Access

We are looking for RoboCup teams, University labs, and hardcore roboticists to push this platform to its limits.

We are offering a 5% "RoboCup Season" discount and dedicated technical support for registered teams.
