SUSTAINA-OP™ is the open hardware platform for the RoboCup Humanoid League KidSize. The robot was developed as a humanoid hardware platform with the objective of overcoming the barrier of high hardware development costs associated with participation in the RoboCup Humanoid League.

We are currently students at the Chiba Institute of Technology in Japan, participating in the competition as the team "CIT Brains" in the RoboCup Humanoid League.

SUSTAINA-OP™ is a robot that incorporates the know-how accumulated by past CIT Brains members participating in the RoboCup Humanoid League. Many CIT Brains members cooperated with us in the actual building of the robots. We also referred to many open-source hardware in designing and developing the robot. We would like to thank these people.

Please confirm the license for each repository before use.

• SUSTAINA-OP™ is a hardware platform humanoid robot whose design data, etc. are open-sourced as much as possible to advance the field of robotics, such as RoboCup Humanoid League.
  Therefore, in addition to the license When publishing artifacts using this platform, I would like to request to clearly state that this platform has been used.
  Also, I would like to hope that the artifacts will also be released as open source for the advancement of robotics.
• The developer of SUSTAINA-OP™ is currently at the Chiba Institute of Technology. Anyone enrolled at or associated with the Chiba Institute of Technology who wishes to use SUSTAINA-OP™ deliverables for research, distribution, etc., must inquire before using the deliverables.
