Camilo Parra Palacio created the Otto bipedal robot, and is now releasing a classroom-friendly version: HP's first educational robot, which is equipped with web-based block coding editors and lots of cool add-ons! Meanwhile, the original open-source "Otto DIY" remains available for those who really want to dig into the tech. Both versions enable you to 3D print your own accessories. Camilo and Hackster's Alex Glow dig into some interesting choices surrounding open source, pedagogy, and productization, while exploring the history and future of this iconic design.
