The Bioloid Premium Kit has everything needed to build one of the top performing humanoid robots available today. Lightening quick moves really set this ‘bot ahead of the pack! The new CM-510 is a much improved version of the tried and true CM-5 Bioloid Controller, complete with the slick new Robo-Plus software that combines the ease of use of ‘building-block’ style programming with the logic and flow of the ‘C’ programming language. A 11.1v 3S LiPo battery pack is not only lighter weight, but provides a higher operating voltage which results in stronger & quicker performance from the AX-12+ Robot Servos. The Bioloid Premium Kit brings all of these features along with a slick new aesthetic design, providing one of the most functional and comprehensive humanoid robot kits on the market today!

Features:
• Excellent humanoid walking performance (Adjustable posture while walking)
• Various sensors including Gyro, distance, IR and more external ports
• Remote control capability (IR-default, Zigbee-optional)
• C-Style programming & motion teaching with RoboPlus S/W (USB interface included)
• Transparent humanoid skin for customization
• Digital Packet communication with daisy chain topology
• Building various robots using versatile expansion mechanism

The simulation was rendered using Simulink and a pricise model of Bioloid Humanoid. The control technique involved 2 stages. The first (pumping) is a normal PD control. The second (close to the hand-stand position) uses an optimal control technique – LQR (Linear Quadratic Regulator).
The humanoid was reduced to a 3-body inverted pendulum model.

Spider robot video recorded by Scott Stevenson on September 13, 2006 at Apple Expo 2006 (porte de Versailles). The commentary is in French. The man speaking about the robot was from: http://www.vieartificielle.com/ .

This spider robot is special in that unlike natural spiders that have eight legs it only has six legs. It is not a six legged spider it is a six legged ROBOT spider!

Controlling Bioloid Robot with a Television remote control

It seems simple but it is little complicated
First thing you got to do is to build the circuit you see in the video and connected to the bus of the Bioloid.
In order the Bioloid to see the circuit you must “speak the language” of the Bioloid’s bus and this is not so easy.
The circuit understands the RC5 IR protocol created by Phillips and returns the code of the button pressed to the Bioloid.

The address of the circuit, to the bus, is 50 (Bioloid has 18 servos, with the corresponding addresses and one AX-S1 module with the address 100).
You can see that when I am writing the command ping 50

The code is written with BascomAVR compiler and the processor of the circuit is ATtiny2313

First attempt to drive a robot snake built with Bioloid kit.
Here you can see linear progression and strafing gaits. Since it was the very first successful attempt the gaits are still a bit creepy
More to come… stay tuned

We took the opportunity to get some up close and personal time with the Bioloid “Edutainment” robot kit from Robotis during the recent Robo-One 9 competition here in Tokyo. Robotis had a small exhibit to show off what the Bioloid can do, but didn’t have an official entry in the robot competition. The Robots Dreams staff was impressed by the modular nature of the kit, and its ability to be reconfigured into a number of different robot designs. You can read more about our experience with the Bioloid, along with the latest robotics news, information, hacks, reviews, photos, and robot videos, with special on-site coverage from Japan, at Robots Dreams – http://www.robots-dreams.com .
