Robot3 - Segway Humanoid Robot that can dance, run, and wake up at the right time!
Here’s a video, the robot seems to play good w/ kids… 
Just in from Chosun news in Korea, robo3 just developed a robot based on Segway structure. The robot can dance, run, and wake you up in the morning. It has 2 axis control to balance itself and can detect surrounding objects and obstacles.
The robot can be remote-controlled or manually driven. The controller being used in the robot is a touch PLC from Comfile Technology, where I work, I didn’t even know you could make something like this…
Yes, it can be customized and programmble via RS232 it says…
Hmmm, maybe I can convince them to send me a sample…
It seems like the company also sells the segway platform for building robots w/ any embedded computers…
I guess you can get one now, the pictures seems to suggest either the robot can drink a beer or maybe it can bring you a beer… (better!)
The segway robot uses ultrasonic sensors, has 28 digital inputs, 26 relay outputs, sound, voice, dancing capabilities.
It weighs 80 kg but the battery on it can last upto 8 hours.
The robot is controlled via a remote controller or in automatic mode. Average operating speed is
around 4km/hr. Hmm…pretty cool…
