Tom Atwood, over at
Robot Magazine, has put a review of the Robotis Bioloid "edutainment" robot kit on their website. You can also find more information on
Robotis' website, though, be warned that it's a Korean company and the "English" version is a bit confusing.
ROBOT Magazine recently took a close look at two Robotis Bioloid educational / hobby kits. These were announced at the Consumer Electronics Show and created quite a stir owing to their versatility and projected U.S. price points, which may be the most competitive yet in the expanding robo-One humanoid category. The Bioloid main kit enables you to create far more than just humanoids, though: dogs, dinosaurs, excavators, crabs, Johnny5-like house bots, spiders, snakes, you name it.
ROBOT's article also has two videos of the kit in action. This looks like a great kit with lots of potential. We'll see how it stacks up against Mindstorms NXT which is
due out in 2 months.
