Quick Answer
Poppy Humanoid is the Poppy Project’s open-source, 3D-printed education biped — about 83 cm, 3.5 kg, 25 actuators. Unlike most stencil pages, this one has real kit prices on the profile: EUR 6,552.28 ex-VAT without printed parts, EUR 8,310.02 ex-VAT with them. That is a research kit quote, not a reason to score 9.0 against Atlas.

What it is
A community/open platform associated with the Poppy Project (Inria lineage). Small, printed, documented.
What is published
Kit prices and a 20-item spec list on our profile. Re-check the live Poppy/Inria channels before you pay anyone those euro figures — they are a snapshot, not a forever MSRP.
Flaws
You are the factory. Printed parts, actuator wear, and student software are the job. The old page still compared Poppy to Figure 02.
Real-world usefulness
High for teaching mechanics and ROS-ish stacks on a body you can repair. OP3 is the other small open biped we review; different vendor, different actuator family.
