The annual nanoTX conference is being held at the Dallas Convention Center this week, but it looks like the most interesting exhibits at the show won’t have anything to do with nanotechnology.
On the robotics front, our old pal David Hanson is bringing his wares to the show for a presentation tomorrow (Thursday) at 10:30 a.m.
While I’m interested to check out Hanson’s work, I’m also intrigued by the news that Lewisville-based KumoTek Robotics will be showcasing its KumoTek-X robot:
The KT-X is the first low-cost bi-pedal robot platform of its kind to be offered in the U.S. that is controllable by a standard PS2 gamepad controller, is easy to use and available to the general public.
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. It stands 13” tall, 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 motions.
