Humanoid robot constructed using the Bioloid kit
The BIOLOID is a hobbyist and educational robot kit produced by the Korean robot manufacturer ROBOTIS. The BIOLOID platform consists of components and small, modular servomechanisms called the AX-12A Dynamixels, which can be used in a daisy-chained fashion to construct robots of various configurations, such as wheeled, legged, or humanoid robots. Robot is programmed with RoboPlus - C language based software solution.[1] The Bioloid system is thus comparable to the LEGO Mindstorms and VEXplorer kits. The platform is currently in use by the U.S. Naval Academy in their Mechanical Engineering courses[2], and is also popular in the RoboCup international robotics competition[3]
