MOTUS
MOTUS is an open-source, almost entirely 3D-printed 6-DoF robot arm created by three fourth-year Industrial Design Engineering students at ELISAVA Development Lab. The README describes a 600 mm reach, a payload of up to 500 g, Arduino-IDE-based control, and a repository organised into BOM, CAD, STL, firmware and user-manual sections. In practice the repo (last updated 2022) contains only the README and an MIT LICENSE: the BOM, CAD Files, FIRMWARE, STL Files and USER MANUAL folders each hold a single empty 1-byte placeholder, so none of the promised hardware artifacts are actually published. It is a clear and appealing concept but, as published, not reproducible from the repository alone.

What you get
- A standardized, machine-readable robot schema derived from the source repo.
- No renderable source model has been selected yet, so the viewer shows a source-model-pending preview.
- Source-backed bill-of-materials evidence is linked with per-part provenance where available. Prices marked estimated are not yet verified against a vendor.
- A transparent reproducibility score so buildability is a sortable, first-class property.
- Cross-links to the source repo, datasets, models, and forks.
