Hello,
I would like to build a 3d printed humanoïd robot (about 60cm in height). For that, I need 12 motors and control the rotation for each of them by RC (graupner mx-20 hott).
I was hoping to do that with an arduino, but there may be other solutions (simpler) that I don’t know, as I never used RC controler before. I don’t even know if it’s easy or hard, if there is existing kits of components etc.
Could you please help me and tell me what kind of composant I should use (controler, receipter, servos) ?
Thank you,
César
Unfortunately you cannot control a humanoid directly using RC control (transmitter -> receiver -> RC servo). There are rarely enough channels, and having a human operate each channel individually is not practical.
You really need to have a microcontroller / servo controller as intermediary, which takes care of the inverse kinematics, walking algorithms etc.
Even before you consider the hardware, you need to figure out how you are going to make the humanoid “walk” and remain stable.

If you’re not comfortable creating your own code, you might try to obtain the electronics / software used on an existing humanoid (RC based).
Creating the physical robot is only a small part of what’s needed in order to create a functional humanoid.
