Robonova-1: Tsukumo Starts Sales of New Sensors
Tsukumo Robot Kingdom in Akihabara just started selling two new sensor options for the Hitec Robonova-1. Both sensors are sourced from Hitec Muliplex Japan, so apparently they are officially supported products compatible with the Robonova-1 humanoid robot.
The first sensor, pictured left, generates a digital sensor output signal when touched. The sensor substrate is only 12.9x29 mm. The second sensor is a peak sound detector that generates a signal if it hears a loud noise like clapping hands.
Both sensors are priced at 2,000 yen on the Tsukumo Robot Kingdom website.

When are they going on sale in the US?

You’ll have to check with Hitec in the US. Tsukumo is a distributor here in Japan, so I’m sure they get the options from Hitec Japan which might have a different roll-out schedule from Hitec US. Let me know what you find out.
