The KumoTek-X (KT-X) bipedal robot is the latest robot to emerge from the creative labs of KumoTek Robotics and Vstone Corporation. This robot was designed to offer an entertaining, low-cost alternative to high-end robotics, while stylishly combining the latest in sleek design and cutting-edge robotics engineering.
The KT-X is the first low-cost bi-pedal robot platform of its kind to be offered in the U.S. that (a) can be controlled using a standard wireless PS2 gamepad controller, (b) is easy to use and offers endless hours of entertainment. The robot is capable walking, running, somersaulting and standing up from a face-up or face-down lying position. It can even be programmed to pull itself up autonomously after it has fallen over.
Standing 13 inches tall, the Kumotek KT-X has 17 servo actuated joints (i.e., 17 degrees of freedom), a powerful 60MHz HV processor with 512kB ROM – 64kB RAM and comes fully loaded with over 75 preprogrammed acrobatic motions. The robot also comes with an easy to use programming interface, which is without a doubt the most user-friendly programming utility to date and requires little to no prior experience with robotics or programming.
Product Features
- GUI – Slider bars for each axis, providing real-time visual feedback of joint positions – Drag and
- Drag and drop, or cut and paste motions for easy configuration
- GYRO – Provides real time gyro control, management and feedback through RS-232 connection.
- RF and Game-pad Configuration – Easy to use RF or PS2 gamepad remote control interface for uploading
- Autodemo Files – Can upload numerous external autodemo files for untethered robot demonstrations

Robot toys are just amazing; they are fun to build, great to play with, and entertaining to watch.
There are so many different robots available, such as the Man’s BestRobot, the Roboporter to carry your luggage, the Lego Rubix Cube Robot,the RC flying Robot, Crime Fighting Robot and so many more.
Each has its own wonderful features and abilities, but the Bioloid Comprehensive Kit comes as a kit, so you may build it one of twelve different ways (seeimage). Does that mean that it potentially grant 12 times the fun? Onlythe creator can be the judge of that.
The Bioloid Humanoid Robot has 18 servos and a fully customized motioneditor, so you may program it to interact well with its environment. Inaddition, using its IrDA sensor, it may communicate with other likerobots, as to avoid obstacles, walk, and perform other actions.Additional sensors allow it to detect different sounds and also measuredifferent distances, granting it some intelligence.
