Introducing Lucy

July 1, 2026

— Sentience Robotics

An open-source humanoid robot you can build, simulate and control from your browser.

Announcement

Lucy is our open-source humanoid robot. It is based on the community InMoov design and powered by ROS 2, and the whole stack — robot software, Gazebo simulation, RViz and a web control panel — runs inside a single Docker container.

That means you only need Docker, Git and Python 3 to get going:

git clone https://github.com/Sentience-Robotics/lucy_ws.git
cd lucy_ws
python3 Lucy.py

Enable Core + Control Panel in the launcher, then open http://localhost:5000 to meet Lucy.

What you get

  • A web control panel with a live in-browser 3D model of the robot
  • Real-time joint control in simulation or on real hardware
  • Webcam hand-tracking that maps your fingers to Lucy's
  • A pose & animation manager, camera streaming and a full hardware-configuration workflow

Want to try it right now? Open the live demo, browse the documentation, or dive into the code on GitHub.

Cheers,
Lucy
