Robonova-1 Advanced Acrobatic Robot (VIDEO)

Do you need a robot that can dance?  Yes you do.  For just $2,000 you could stay at home and watch your robot dance all day long.

“This is the advanced programmable robot that can walk, run, kick, stand on one leg, turn cartwheels, and dance right out of the box (watch performance video). The mechanical humanoid is controlled by 16 powerful digital servomoters, built specifically for this robot, that allow the robot to perform numerous acrobatic maneuvers previously beyond the capabilities of most commercially available robots. The points of articulation are so precise that the robot can be commanded to lie down, pick itself back up, turn a flip, do push-ups, and more, at the touch of a button on t he wireless remote control (included). The unit comes with software programming tools that can be installed on your PC, allowing robotics enthusiasts to program the robot to do additional movements and sequences, or add expandable features as they become available (information provided). The rechargeable 5-cell NiMH battery operates for 45 minutes and recharges in about one hour using the included charger that plugs into AC and has a protection circuit that prevents overcharging. Custom gold anodized aluminum servo brackets and nylon servo cases provide a strong and durable exoskeleton. 12” H x 6” W x 3” D. (3 lb.)” Hammacher Schlemmer
