Bill Kim, identified as ROBOTIS’s CEO, presents the DARwIn-OP humanoid robot and ROBOTIS products to an audience.
Kim describes an open modular design that lets users work with the robot’s structure and make additional parts. He says DARwIn-OP uses a PC-based platform, allowing users to apply different applications and computers.
Kim says ROBOTIS aims to keep the robot lightweight and gives about six pounds as the weight of the “terminal series.” He says launch was planned for the following year, with more time needed to release replication data, and puts the price at about half that of some competing high-end robots.
Kim points to ROBOTIS’s history developing small humanoids and says the company has relevant robotics experience. He describes its business as providing robot-building solutions, from children’s kits to transport applications.
Kim identifies OVAL as a kit used to build an action figure that can moonwalk. He also says DARwIn-OP uses the RX-28M servo, which has four times the resolution of earlier models and processor-operated, non-contact feedback.
