Korean Company Plans to Release Another Walking Robot in October
A new South Korean startup, D2E Robotics, plans on releasing a two-legged hobbiest robot in October. In what appears to be a move to compete with other companies, such as Kyosho, Kondo, and Hitec, the robot, dubbed D2V-ZN, will have simple voice recognition and a vision system.
Though, strangely enough, the company likes to compare their robot to the venerable RoboSapien from WowWee, saying:
"Unlike RoboSapien, our customers will be able to install new moves on their own. In other words, their imagination will be their only limit," [CEO] Chung said.
The 12" tall robot will initially have a retail price of about $700 USD, but the company expects the price to drop to about $300 if the robot becomes popular.
"D2V-ZN can identify its owner with an embedded camera and take some pre-set orders after recognizing voices. It will arguably be the smartest robot in the market,"
"Arguably" is right. I wonder if they've talked to Ugobe yet?
