Open-source robots you can use commercially

A hardware license that permits commercial use and derivatives.

55 robots match this list. Robots whose hardware license is a recognized open license that permits commercial use and derivatives for the whole design. Non-commercial terms (such as CC BY-NC), missing or custom licenses, and licenses that cover only some files are left out. The software license can differ from the hardware license; the robot page shows both. This is not legal advice.
