i-SOBOT
Takara/Tomy will be offering the "i-SOBOT," a fully functional humanoid robot for approximately $300
(USD) in Fall 2007—a breakthrough in pricing that is significantly less than half the retail cost of similar
humanoid robots. For only $50 to $70 more, a follow-on version, scheduled for later in the '07, will
include a head-mounted camera and LAN capability. Each of the 17 servos has its own small cpu built-
in. The rest of the electronics, including a cpu totally dedicated to voice recognition, are enclosed in the
robots main body. The speaker is located at the bottom of the chassis, behind the three slots. Ready to
go right out of the box, the robot will ship with several hundred pre-programmed motion sequences,
dialogs, and built-in voice command recognition.
