i think it will be use in spy plane,like in the sea spy robot!
video
balance at first,look this robot mule
as a long time,people want robot can be stand as well as walk,they are found so many problem,fix problem,balance are very important,so want robot stand well must give a balance place or creating balance by robot itself.
this video to show people intelligence give robot a balance system let's it can be stand well and walk well whlie in the snow,rock and so on...
look this video at Youtube.com

Building The Lynxmotion BRAT
Story and photos by Tom Atwood and Harry Mueller
This pictorial shows the assembly of Lynxmotion’s, www.lynxmotion.com, new BRAT, an entry level bipedal robot that is a milestone robot. With a starting price of less than $300, BRAT offers an affordable yet sophisticated entry into the humanoid robotics field. Use Lynxmotion’s powerful sequencing software and you will be able to program the coordinated movement of up to 32 servos (the BRAT biped uses only six servos). The BRAT is a powerful testament to the flexibility of the “servo erector set” product line developed by Lynxmotion. Harry Mueller, who reviews the BRAT in our Winter 2006 issue, notes:
“BRAT, an acronym for Bipedal Robotic Articulating Transport, is the latest creation to come whirring out of the Lynxmotion robotics lab. It promises to be a great addition to the entry-level humanoid robot class. This robotic incarnation can trace its development back to its distant cousin Tao-Pie-Pie of New Zealand, through to SixPac, as described in the Fall 2006 issue of Robot magazine, and up to the first inspirational glimmerings of Jim Frye of Lynxmotion, who created the wonderfully expandable BRAT package.
“In the feature article on the BRAT published in the Winter 2006 issue of Robot, we examine two versions, a bare-bones basic kit and a full-blown “Tarzan-on-steroids” BRAT capable of autonomous operation in addition to great feats of strength. The main difference between the versions is the type of servo used; the basic kit comes with the Hitec HS-422 servos while my hopped up BRAT uses Hitec 5645 digital servos. In addition, my autonomous BRAT uses the optional bot board with an Atom Pro microprocessor. Obstacle detection is achieved with a Sharp GP2D12 analog infrared ranger…
“A number of optional configurations are available for BRAT using different servos and SES components and a few such versions are shown on the Lynxmotion website (www.lynxmotion.com). Once your BRAT has been configured Lynxmotion provides three ways of implementing control.
- Just use the free terminal program available for the SSC-32.
- Purchase and use the powerful Sequencer software with the SSC-32.
- Get a bot board with processor for untethered operation. The Bot Board can also be piggybacked onto the SSC-32 servo controller, in addition to being used alone.”
I assembled the entry level BRAT kit to shed light on the easy steps involved. Putting this research biped together was enormous fun―here are some highlights of the assembly process.
The instructions note that the robot might move swiftly and be prepared. I “knew” all of my servos were properly centered, but when I told the software to center all servos by clicking on the “All=1.5mS” button, my BRAT came alive and kicked me! I had installed one servo 90 degrees out of phase!
Exploring this software has not only been a hoot, it’s been an inspiration. The power of this software is enormous and one can easily envision “growing” the BRAT to include additional joints and limbs. Want to build your own Robo-One humanoid robot? Start with a BRAT and add a torso, head and arms. See the Winter 2006 issue of Robot to read Harry Mueller’s evaluation of the autonomous Lynxmotion BRAT powered by digital servos. The entry level Biped BRAT Combo Kit for PC (serial port, Brushed or Black Anodized brackets) includes the Sequencer software, SSC-32 Servo Controller, Serial Data cable and four Hitec HS-422 servos. Price: $286.09 |

Futaba Shows New Humanoid Robot at iHobbyExpo 2006
By Tom Atwood
At the iHobbyExpo at the Donald Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL, October 19-22, Futaba showed a new 20-servo humanoid robot.
Futaba reps noted it carries 11 high-torque servos and 9 lightweight servos, and it can be operated in at least two modes. One accesses canned programs and one enables motion editing using a PC. Demonstrations were performed using a game controller that communicated wirelessly. Signage indicated that it uses a 16-channel 2.4GHz radio and can run for 25 minutes on a charge. Canned routines included walking punching, kicking and bowing. Note close-up rear view image showing internal components as it bows; note also servo lead "bus" on leg and shoulder. Image of second robot was an earlier prototype mock-up showing a different style exterior. The robot has a projected street price in the U.S. of about $1,200.00. Availability is expected in coming months--Robot will keep you posted.

ROBO-ONE 10 – A Gallery of Humanoid Robot Competition in Japan
Robots-Dreams.com Robot contributor and founding blogger Lem Fugitt recently covered the Robo-One 10 tournament, held September 16 – 17, 2006 in Nagai, Yamagata, Japan. This “inside view” of the rapidly expanding Robo-One competition captures the human interest and technology of this robotics competition, and it suggests the future of hobbyist humanoid robot competitions world-wide.
Out of a field of 113 entries and over 70 robots that passed the initial qualification test, only those that scored in the top 32 places during the preliminary demonstration contest were allowed to compete in the ring on the second day.
King Kizer, developed by Nao Maru from Osaka and his family, captured the championship after a long, hard final match that went into Sudden Death overtime.
Each competitor is assigned a small workspace - barely enough room to setup a laptop and their robot. Eiichiro Morinaga (foreground) is busy setting up Metallic Fighter
for its turn in the ring.

Black Blade, created by Shibata of Team Lillac, was really awesome when it brought its grippers into play during the bouts.
Jin Sato, famous for his unique LEGO Mindstorms creations like MIBO - the AIBO clone, is also an avid ROBO-ONE competitor. Jin is a jocular, friendly, enterprising humanoid designer who you will never forget once you meet him. Editor’s note: Jin proudly showed off a self-righting humanoid at the 2005 RoboNexus event that was very impressive. His work currently includes an AIST (Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) initiative with a Linux based humanoid.

The harness he's wearing is a master/slave unit that transmits his arm and upper body movements to the robot. He is holding a modified game controller that enables him to direct the robot and trigger some surprising dives and back flips.
Arius, developed by the Sumi Family, uses a double servo knee configuration. Unlike most of the other builders that use Kondo servos, Sumi has focused exclusively on Hitec servos.
Center: Nao Maru and his two sons won the championship with King Kizer. Right: Yu came in 2nd place with his robot named 'Ivre" Left: 3rd place went to Myongji Robot's MYRO from Korea.
This group of dedicated ROBO-ONE competitors, including Maeda, Dr. GIY, and Jin Sato, organized a tour bus for the 5+ hour drive up to the venue.
This detailed shot of OmniZero.3's knee shows the dual servo configuration that responds twice as fast as the more popular single servo knees.
Nakamura of Himeji Soft Works always comes up with some very unique robot designs, including the WR-07 transformer robot. For ROBO-ONE 10 he came up with "Garuda" an orange robot design that towered over the competitors.
