Open humanoids, catalogued
Every humanoid, biped, bimanual platform, mobile manipulator, arm and hand we could find that calls itself open, scored on the same nine questions, with the numbers the projects publish and the pages they were read from. Ours is in the list on the same terms as everyone else's.
What counts as open
The questions come from the Open Source Hardware Association's definition and from what it takes to actually build a robot from a release. A project is judged on what is public today, not on what is announced.

Cost marks: none = itemised BOM · † = total published by the project · ≈ = estimate · ‡ = third-party figure. Click a row for the checklist, notes, links and sources.
Open files around closed hardware
These publish URDFs, SDKs and training code and are useful to work with, but none gives a builder the mechanical source, electronics, BOM and permission needed to reproduce the robot. They are here so the checklist has its comparison row.

Add or correct a robot
The table is generated from tools/catalog_src.py, one Python dictionary per robot with a sources list. Open a pull request that edits the entry and cites where each changed fact was read; runs of python3 tools/build_catalog.py regenerate assets/data/catalog.json for this page and the builder. Corrections from the projects themselves are welcome above all.
Reference lists this catalog drew on: the Humanoids Data open-source audit, awesome-open-source-robots and the OSH Atlas.
