What is it?

Nova is a fully-articulated, 3D-printable humanoid robot with working arms, head, and a rotating torso—designed for real interaction, experimentation, and personality integration. She’s modular, upgradeable, and ready to become your robotic companion or research platform.

Why did you make it?

I built Nova because I wanted a humanoid robot that wasn’t just for show—one that could move, think, and evolve. Most bots on the market are either toys or locked-down kits. Nova is different. She’s a reflection of my vision for accessible robotics that anyone can build, modify, and grow with.

What makes it special?

Nova isn’t just another robotic shell. Her arms are powered by high-torque servos, her head tracks you, and her design is completely modular for printing at home. Every piece was engineered to balance realism, affordability, and expression. She's made to move with you—and eventually, think with you too.
