BeijingDynamics has open-sourced the complete FreeCAD hardware source files for the Sprite humanoid robot on GitHub, released under the CERN Open Hardware Licence Version 2.
The repository splits the design into per-part FCStd files — pelvis, chest, head, left/right arms and legs, and individual joint links including 7-DOF arm linkages — making the full structural design viewable, modifiable, and redistributable. It's a notable example of FreeCAD being used for real humanoid robot hardware design.
