Here’s a line-tracing video of the segway robot ROVIN mentioned couple weeks ago that uses a cutouch from comfile.

Kinda cool.

I found some pricing for these segway robots:

I guess the company robo3 is right now working on a humanoid version, which will help you clean your house and do entertain your kids…
ROBIN 1500/$15,000 (ROBIN RMP 800+ABS body + Touch screen)
ROBIN 2500/$25,000 (ROBIN 1500 + ARM)
ROBIN 3500/$35,000 (ROBIN 2500 + Vision system + PDA remote controller) + Charger
ROBIN 4500/$45,000 (ROBIN 3500 + Customization)

I guess you can get it without the arm and the vision system if you wanted to customize it…heh,
send me a sample please!!!

Here’s a video of the robot doing some line-tracing and playing with 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… [...]
