The second generation Humanoid Robot Kit from Kondo!
Be one of the few in the U.S. to own this humanoid combat robot from Kondo! The KHR-2HV includes some impressive performance and usability improvements including expanded programmability, real-time master/slave control, high performance KRS-788HV servos, and scalable analog inputs
The Kondo KHR-2HV Humanoid is programmed using a completely new version of the HeartToHeart software (HeartToHeart 3), that features drag and drop programming using flow chart type blocks and allows for conditional branching. In addition to mechanical design changes like simpler resin plastic joints making assembly much easier than the KHR-1, Kondo has also added some nice touches like the addition of a main power switch. The interface for the KHR-2HV Humanoid is USB; totally eliminating the prior need for a RS-232C port or conversion cable.
This KHR-2HV Humanoid comes unassembled in a box full of robotic parts and high quality digital servos.
Kit Includes:
*Seventeen (17) KRS-788HV ICS Digital Servos
*RCB-3J Control Board with 24 PWM input/output and 3 analog input ports
*USB to serial Cable
*NiMH 10.8V 300 mAh battery
*AC charger
*CD-ROM with manuals and software
*Over 200 frames, brackets, screws, bolts, hones, washers, cables, covers, and the new ABS+Duralmin Frame.
It's Alive! It's Alive!
I-Wei, brilliant designer of Crabfu SteamWorks art, has been using the KHR-2HV to work on perfecting real human motion in humanoid robots. You can see what amazing things can be done with these robots. A big thank you to I-Wei for making the vids!!
*note - in the below version of the robot I-Wei has modified the feet for better locomotion. I-Wei told us that he tried dozens of materials on the foot soles to find just the right friction. Now that's dedication!
