Two options are available, as a kit, so you can enjoy building your robot yourself, or as a pre–assembled, “RTW”, “ready to walk” instant gratification robot.
#Hitec robonova 1 humanoid robot Bluetooth#
Optional accessories for future release will include gyros, acceleration sensors, speech synthesis modules and operational devices such as Bluetooth controllers and R/C transmitters and receivers. Secured to the back of the robot under a strong plastic case, the controller board can operate up to 24 servos and 16 accessory modules. The plastic components are made of an extremely high-quality material which provides all the robustness required for daily use.Īt the heart of the ROBONOVA-I is a powerful ATMEL ATMega 128 microcontroller with ample reserves of performance. A small robot, the Hitec RoboNova, was initially used to develop smooth sequences of complex gestures used in human dance. This paper describes a system enabling humanoid robots to move in synchrony with music. Specially treated anodized aluminium parts provide the essential strength in the connecting elements, and give the ROBONOVA-1 its characteristic high-quality appearance. For example, such a robot could be used to augment live performances alongside human dancers. These custom servos feature "set pin" locking of the servo arms for easy assembly, over-voltage current protection, super strong Karbonite gear trains and "feedback" technology for simple programming. This fully articulating, 12" high, mechanical man is controlled with 16 powerful HSR-8498HB digital servos built specifically for the ROBONOVA-I by Hitec.
The stable ROBONOVA-I can walk, run, do back-flips, cartwheels, dance moves and once programmed, is ready to compete in a variety of robot competitions. Hitec Robotics ROBONOVA-I is an exciting new humanoid robot that offers educators, students and robotic hobbyists a complete robot package.
