🔧 Design Concept

Nova is a fully modular humanoid robot engineered for real-world interaction, adaptability, and elegant simplicity.

Her design prioritizes both mechanical clarity and expressive motion, featuring a sensor-integrated head for perception, dual-articulated arms driven by precision servos, and a smoothly rotating torso capable of complex, lifelike movements.

Every piece has been carefully crafted for ease of assembly, repair, and customization, making Nova not just a robot — but a reliable and expandable platform.

🎓 Purpose & Use Cases

Nova is more than a machine — she’s a gateway into the world of robotics. Perfect for:

STEM education, where students can explore kinematics, servo control, and feedback systems through hands-on experience.

Hobbyists and tinkerers, who want a powerful yet approachable humanoid base to modify and evolve.

Researchers and developers, seeking a lightweight, programmable robotic platform for AI, vision, or interaction experiments.

Whether you’re teaching, learning, or innovating, Nova brings robotics to life in a tangible, meaningful way.

Printing Recommendations

I've used Hyper PLA for all parts printed.

Ensure that parts have strong infill (50%) and 0.8mm resolution to withstand stress and provide durability.

Parts required:

ST3215-HS Servos from Waveshare.com

ESP32 Servo Driver Expansion Board, Built-In WiFi and Bluetooth from Waveshare.com

Intel RealSense D455 Depth Camera from Networkhardwares.com

Ultra Slim Multiport Hub 4 Ports USB 3.0 Adapter from Amazon.com

M2 M2.5 M3 Hex Socket Countersunk Screws from Amazon.com

3x8x3mm Chrome Steel Miniature Bearing from Amazon.com

12V 10A Power Supply Adapter from Amazon.com

USB 3.1 USB-C Reversible Angled to 90 Degree Up Angled A Male Data Cable from Amazon.com

Carefully follow the wiring table to connect the servos to the driver board.

Ensure all connections are secure and test each part for smooth movement before final assembly.
