My Favourite Biped: Chroino

Hi All, I just had to post this. I found this quite a while ago, but didn’t know if it was well known. Couldn’t find it in a search, so…

Meet Chroino
http://www.robo-garage.com/robo/images/chroino1_image.jpg

One of the best looking bipeds I’ve seen, and with 24 degrees of freedom, it has some of the nicest movements I’ve seen in a biped that hasn’t had the budget of QRIO, or ASIMO etc.
The videos on the website are worth the small download. I just wish this was available to buy.

Hope you all like. Please post any more videos etc if you know of them or find them. Or of any other favourites.

Hi,

WOW!

Very sophisticated and smooth movements. And very good looking too. Let’s hope it come for sale.

This bot is offered by Kyosho, isn’t it? It’s their latest bot in the Manoi series?

This bot is actually the creators personnal project, looks like the PF 01 but it has alot of differences in movement.

Yeah, the PF 01 seems to be the closest one on the market, and I think the same designer worked on it (not possitive). But the PF 01 only has 17 DOF where Chroino has 24! And some very advanced joints, if you take a close look at the ankle you can see it has 3 DOF all very close to the ground. I don’t know how he pulled that off, but it makes for some great movement.

Yeah, That’s what I’m going to try once I get pieces I need, probably make it hand-made so that the center of the 3 DOF of one joint is the smallest possible.

Chroino (or Kuroino in proper roomaji), is an amazing bot.
