What Is BB1 & Why It’s Different?
BB1 is more than a robot. It is a collaborative leap into modular, AI-ready robotics for everyone. It’s open-source, customizable, and shaped by a community spirit. Whether you’re a student, hobbyist, educator, saw BB1 online, or just robotics-curious, BB1 can be your personal sidekick...ready to jam to your favorite tunes, assist with tasks, protect your home, or serve as a blank canvas for your wildest ideas.
Unlike many robots—often overpriced or locked down—BB1 stays affordable and hackable. Add sensors, integrate AI, or tweak the code. We’ve done the heavy lifting so you can dive in without starting at square one. BB1 isn’t just a vacuum on wheels, BB1 is a friend that evolves alongside you.

Who Am I?
My journey into robotics wasn’t planned. At first, I laughed off the idea of ever building a robot because it seemed way out of reach. But curiosity won, and casual tinkering quickly became an obsession. Late nights turned into all-nighters as I fell in love with the challenge, learning through trial and error, and creating something I thought was impossible.
This project reignited a spark I hadn’t felt in years, transforming from a hobby into purpose. After countless mistakes, two working prototypes—BB1-Zero and BB1-1—were born. We took those prototypes to a few shows, and I didn’t expect to see that same spark in others—the way people smiled as soon as they saw the robot. Something about that let me know I was onto something special.
That kept me going. Every unknown became a challenge I wanted to conquer, and I realized this is a unique moment in time—a time when the technology out there means that even a guy like me can build a robot. Now, I want others to experience this journey with me. Whether you’re a tinkerer who loves to create or someone who just wants a robot companion, BB1 is built for you.
