Djiezes says:

A European initiative to build an open source robot 'iCub': a robot designed to have the physical and sensory capabilities of a two-and-a-half year old child.
Both the hardware and software are open source.

<A href="http://cordis.europa.eu/ist/cognition/index.html">Unit E5 "Cognition"</A>. Our main goal is to study cognition through the implementation of a humanoid robot the size of a 2 year old child: the iCub. This is an open project in many different ways: it will distribute its platform openly, it will develop software open-source, and we are open to including new partners and form collaboration worldwide.
