Thinking about making your own robot? Here's the perfect project to get you started: the Bioloid Humanoid Robotics Kit.
The Bioloid Humanoid Robotics Kit is a highly-customizable Korean DIY robot kit that can be configured as the default human form or assembled into any one of dozens of different robotic creatures. The Bioloid has 18 servos, a full motion editor and visual programming environment that allows you to make the Bioloid interact with its surroundings.
The kit also comes with several programs to make it walk, avoid obstacles, and interact with sound. The sensor module in the head of the robot features an IrDA receiver, three proximity
sensors (left, right, and front), a mic for sound detection and a piezo-electric speaker. The Bioloid's brain is a CM-5 module that runs an Atmel ATMega128 based mcu. It's housed in the same molded plastic enclosure that also houses the robot's 9.6V rechargeable battery pack.
Please note that this thing's a kit and requires assembly. There's no soldering needed, but you do need some minor knowledge of how a screwdrivers works, as well as a good grasp of reading and following instructions. To see the Bioloid in action, just give the "via" link below a click. You can also order the whole kit for US$ 899.99 through the "via" link.
