In this chapter we describe the history and evolution of the iCub humanoid platform. We start by describing the first version as it was designed during the RobotCub EU project and illustrate how it evolved to become the platform that is adopted by more than 30 laboratories world wide. We complete the chapter by illustrating some of the research activities that are currently carried out on the iCub robot, i.e. visual perception, event driven sensing and dynamic control. We conclude the Chapter with a discussion of the lessons we learned and a preview of the upcoming next release of the robot, iCub 3.0.
