The paper introduces BRIDGE, an open‑source 88 cm tall humanoid robot designed through a data‑driven morphology‑control co‑design framework that optimizes the robot’s body shape for human‑like movement. A new metric combining kinematic retargeting fidelity and dynamic tracking performance is proposed to evaluate morphological fidelity, and the framework achieves state‑of‑the‑art results compared to existing humanoids such as Bumi, K1, and Toddlerbot. The resulting platform, released with its control policy and supporting materials, demonstrates superior fidelity in capturing human motion, robust balance, and highly dynamic maneuvers.
