General Robotix, Inc. reported yesterday that their new Linux-based HRP-2m Choromet/Promet bipedal humanoid robot will start deliveries next month. The first production run created by Kawada Industries will be limited to 50 units, but full scale production is scheduled for early 2007. Price has been set at 498,750 yen, and they are currently accepting advance reservations online. Open source Kung-fu module is forthcoming. Kawanda says:
HRP-2 will be used for experiments to further develop robotic technologies in the areas of "walking on uneven surfaces," "tipping-over control," "getting up from a fallen position," and "human-interactive operations in open spaces."
Read that last area as Open Plains Combat...
