OpenNeck is an open-source 2-DoF robotic neck gimbal. The repository provides 3D-printable mechanical parts, a physical-angle-based software driver, and standalone URDF and MuJoCo simulation models.

Project Contents

  • Mechanical hardware: editable STEP models, print-ready STL models, a sourcing list, and assembly instructions.
  • Software driver: a Python API, command-line tools, servo maintenance tools, and procedures for center and mechanical-limit calibration.
  • Simulation models: standalone URDF and MuJoCo XML models with their supporting meshes.

Getting Started

When building OpenNeck for the first time, follow these documents in order:

  1. Use Hardware Preparation to source the components and print the structural parts.
  2. Follow Mechanical Assembly to assemble the gimbal.
  3. Follow Software Driver to install the driver, assign servo IDs, and complete calibration.
