## Summary

The Asimov 1 team has released an updated user manual, a step-by-step guide from parts to a robot that stands and walks, with each assembly step accompanied by a rotatable 3D visual. Asimov 1 is built with off-the-shelf components, so users can source the parts themselves and build it from scratch. The manual is at docs.menlo.ai/asimov/1/overview, and the code is in the GitHub repository menloresearch/asimov-1.
