Kyosho Manoi PF01 Humanoid Robot.

when I was searching for some hi-tech robot, Kyosho Manoi PF01 has caught my attention and search for some information about this cute hi-tech robot, Last two years ago Takahashi robot maker was commissioned by Kyosho to create a new robot humanoid, based in part on his Chroino design and the result was the first MANOI robot, Now meet Kyosho Manoi PF01 the new and improved Humanoid Robot! Kyosho company has done a great job creating a comic manga character style and has anime movements to the fact that it is also stylish and powerful,. The Manoi PF01 has everything that made the AT01 great, Manoi PF01 could actually maintain balance by merely standing on it's one foot, you probably wont believe me watch my post video. The new kyosho Manoi has some better improvements like Nickel-metal-Hydride batteries have been abandoned in favor of light weight, high capacity Lithium Polymer cells. These new batteries have over 4 times the capacity of those included with the AT01, so you can have four times more fun before recharging Manoi.
The Manoi PF01 Robot's polycarbonate shell pieces cover the servos and skeleton almost completely, giving this humanoid a sleek, streamlined appearance. The inside of the head of the Manoi PF01 provides plenty of space for mounting additional sensors, you could also put a small cameras, A rubber pieces integrated into the front and back of the head protect the PF01 in case it takes a fall.

The PF01 immediately captured the attention of both the press and the public last Fall of 2005 Although the robot was initially scheduled to go on sale by June, 2006, it ran into unexpected production problems and initial shipments have been delayed until November of this year.The Manoi PF01 Humanoid Robot Kit is currently on hold due to exportation restrictions. That's right, PF01 is so good, the Japanese government won't let Kyosho export it in the U.S! I dont know how long will this take to get the proper governmental approval. for now let's enjoy wacthing Kyosho Manoi PF01 do it's thing...
