8th Kondo KHR Humanoid Robot Anniversary Event Photoset
It's hard to believe, but it's actually been 8 years since Kondo introduced the first hobby level humanoid robot kit in the world. Last year they had to cancel the anniversary celebration due to the March 2011 earthquake and related disasters. But this year the event was back in full force with lots of energy and boundless enthusiasm.
Here are some of the photos from the 8th Kondo KHR Humanoid Robot Anniversary celebration:
