The gKumoTek-Xh (KT-X) bipedal
robot is the latest robot to emerge from the creative
labs of KumoTek Robotics and Vstone Corporation. Thse
robot was designed to offer an entertaining, low-cost
alternative to high-end robotics, while stylishly
combining the latest in sleek design and cutting-edge
robotics engineering.
The KT-X is
the first low-cost bi-pedal robot platform of its kind
to be offered in the U.S. that (a) can be controlled
using a standard wireless PS2 gamepad controller, (b)
is easy to use and (c) offers endless hours of
entertainment.
The robot is
capable walking, running, somersaulting and standing
up from a face-up or face-down lying position. It can
even be programmed to pull itself up autonomously
after it has fallen over. It stands 13h tall, has 17
servo actuated joints (i.e., 17 degrees of freedom), a
powerful 60MHz HV processor with 512kB ROM / 64kB RAM
and comes fully loaded with over 75 preprogrammed
acrobatic motions.
The robot
also comes with an easy to use programming interface,
which is without a doubt the most user-friendly
programming utility to date and requires little to no
prior experience with robotics or programming. It can
be purchased as a kit or fully assembled.
