The CREO humanoid developed at the Mechatronics and Automation laboratory of National University of Singapore supports a wide range of research in robotics including intelligent system, image processing, kinematics and dynamics, real time control system, wireless communication and energy efficiency in biped locomotion. CREO stands at 540mm tall with 26 degrees-of-freedom. A double knee joint configuration based on closed kinematics is utilized. The actuators can be configured with different response profiles to fully maximize motion efficiency and effectiveness. The actuators use the daisy chain network topology. The humanoid sparks an open architectural platform in which the processors can be customized. It is armed with a 1.3M pixel camera and an inertia measurement unit consisting of 3 axis accelerometer and 2 axis gyro.

Traditionally, humanoid robots are often built with lower center of gravity (for better stability performance) and larger foot. CREO has a foot-body ratio closer to that of the humans and higher center of gravity. A great deal of studies can be conducted in CREO on generating motion similar to that of a human in terms of dynamics, control and stability performance since the physical system is now closer to that of a human (ratio and weight distribution aspects).

CREO is still in the early stage of development.
