I-Sobot, the smallest fully bipedal Guinness award robot ever produced. 17 custom servo motors, in-built gyro sensor for balancing, voice-activated sensor, speaking vocabulary of 200 words and phrases.
Most of the joints are assembled with allen keys. A strange sight is how it balances without falling and the way it pick itself up after lying face down or up. It does on the floor somersault too. Impressive smart device.
I've ordered from Hong Kong and it flew over within few days by paypal. Mostly by credit card secure mode. It costs a hefty US$245 with freight. Nevertheless, it gives me a few hours of custom walking and maneuvers. The boxed set comes with rechargable Recyclo AAA x 3 batteries and charger. Surprisingly the volt is 1.2V and the manual does not recommend using alkaline 1.5V (New batteries measured with multi-meters are generally higher).
Around Kitchener Complex near Lavender MRT, there is a Rotor Specialist who does sale of RC planes, helicopters and even robots. They are quite professional and slightly mercenary as well. I did patronized them few years back and had lots of flight training on my own with my chopper E-Sky. At the least now I can hover at whatever position and land where I need. Spare parts are lessons for me to buy. I will show in my next blog the series of helicopters that I had.
Back to the picture, the number of robots that Rotor have are generally expensive with digital transmitters. Servos costs a bomb. A lucrative export business for them targeting on professionals and aviation teams including experts oversea in India. Even on military flight schools or teams.
