RoboBuilder Humaniod Robot Metal Bracket Option (Video)

When we first saw the RoboBuilder humanoid robot from Megarobotics, we thought it was pretty neat, but had some concerns about the durability of the plastic body parts, especially since we like to get down and dirty, ROBO-ONE style, with our humanoids.

Now, according to the folks over at RoboSavvy, there are plans to release a metal bracket set for the RoboBuilder. Not only will this improve the robots durability, it should also open the door for some interesting hacks and mods. Metal brackets are a lot easier to fabricate or modify in a home workshop.

The robots price point is competitive, and should put a lot of pressure on older kits that are getting long in the tooth - like the Robonova-1. And, with metal brackets, it should also provide some competition for the higher end kits like the Kondo KHR series and the MANOI robots from Kyosho.

We're really anxious to see how the RoboBuilder is accepted by fans in the robot community, and how long it will be before we start to see them show up at robot events and competitions.

RoboBuilder es la última plataforma robótica flexible educativa aparecida en escena, a medio camino entre LEGO Mindstorms NXT y Bioloid. Este innovador sistema robótico ya se puede comprar en RO-BOTICA.com

RoboBuilder se parece a LEGO Mindstorms por su innovador sistema de ensamblaje de piezas y actuadores con juntas que hace innecesarios los tornillitos, tuercas, etc, y facilita la implementación de estructuras
mecánicas complejas con muy poco tiempo, permitiendo a los usuarios
dedicar mas tiempo a la programación y a jugar con los robots, haciendo el proceso de aprendizaje mas equilibrado.

El software visual y la programación de comportamientos y movimientos es realmente si cabe mas simple que el de LEGO Mindstorms, por el sistema de aprendizaje: se fija manualmente cada posición final e intermedia del robot y se registran, para reproducirlas posteriormente mediante el programador de comportamientos.

RoboBuilder se parece a Bioloid en su sistema de actuadores (servomotores) conectados en serie que hace ilimitado el número de grados de libertad que puede tener el Robot. El kit 5710K se suministra con 16 servomotores, y permite construir de forma guiada un robot humanoide, un robot-perrito, un robot-dinosaurio, o las propias creaciones robóticas.

RoboBuilder mejora a Bioloid y a LEGO Mindstorms en lo estilizados y formas curvas que resultan los robots, siendo estos mas robustos que los de LEGO, pero no tanto como los de Bioloid.

Un saludo cordial,
