TINYWAVE Bipedal Hobby Robot Now Available
TINYWAVE was developed by Jeon chang-hoon, Chamipon of ROBO-ONE KOREA and Tomio Sugiura, famous for robot builder of ROBO-ONE GP Robot, Dynamyzer. The constructed products are made from SUGIURA MACHINE DESIGN OFFICE.
TINYWAVE is a 33cm (13″) tall bipedal hobby robot weighing 1.45kg (including the battery) and is now finally in the market. This spunky robot recently took first place at the first ever ROBO-ONE Light tournament. The robot comes fully assembled in various colors (light blue, blue, gold, black, silver, and red) with 16 Robotis AX-12 servos for 220,500 JPY ($2,400 USD). You can add up additional degrees of freedom (up to 21) and sensors for a few hundred dollars extra.
Rather than using existing Robotis motion control software, TINYWAVE comes with its own proprietary motion builder software Motion Creator, and is controlled using a Bluetooth PS2-style game pad.
