Hello,
I would like to purchase this for my brother as a surprise, he loves programming, loves the mechanics of everything. Nothing is too complicated for this guy, he loves building, electronics, mechanics, computers…
Would this robot, KHR-3HV, be a good gift? Are there better ones out there?
Thank you so much! I know nothing about the subject but have been trying to read and came upon your website! Your help would be much appreciated.
Thank you so much!
I am looking to buy Kondo KHR-3HV, but I live in Japan, I am buying from here.
So they told me that the robot comes with an English Manual, but the software is in Japanese.
Is there info in English online? Can he gather info easily?
And this 3HV model, is better than 2HV model?
What should it come with- basics?
Please forgive my ignorance.
Thank you so much for your prompt response, I really appreciate it.
I will need to buy tomorrow so I need to go ahead!
Thanks!
Thank you so much!
You are amazing!
I am sure he will go nuts, I will order Kondo 3 today.
Have a wonderful day!
Hi iampurple ,
Welcome to the RobotShop Forum. The Kondo KHR-2HV is one of the most advanced production humanoid robots on the market. Able to play soccer, the Kondo can also be equipped with the RoBoard single board computer which significnatly increases its capabilities (add a USB camera and vision software for example). The biggest issue is the price, so if it is within your budget, the KHR-2HV is an excellent gift for someone looking to do higher level programming with a humanoid.
Q1. I am looking to buy Kondo KHR-3HV, but I live in Japan, I am buying from here.
A1. RobotShop ships worldwide, including Japan.
Q2. So they told me that the robot comes with an English Manual, but the software is in Japanese. Is there info in English online? Can he gather info easily?
A2. The Kondo software manual is available in English. The “Heart to Heart” software is also in English. With a bit of effort, you can follow the images inthe assembly guide. The Kondo assembly manual is also available in English.
Q3. And this 3HV model, is better than 2HV model? What should it come with- basics?
A3. The KHR-3HV uses different servos making it more powerful than the 2HV.
Hope this helps,
