The KumoTek-X (KT-X) bipedal robot is the latest robot to emerge from the creative
labs of KumoTek Robotics and Vstone Corporation. This 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 Gladiator is the 19 degrees of freedom extension to the original KT-X bipedal humanoid robot. This robot comes with a hip extension kit plus two additional servos to make him the ultimate robot for competitions, or just plain fun.
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 13" tall, has 19 servo
actuated joints (i.e., 19 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.
