The Futaba RBT-1 Humanoid Robot Ready to Walk needs only one more component to be complete: You to give the orders. Use the included, Playstation-style controller to execute pre-programmed routines or those you program yourself with the supplied Motion Editor for your Windows PC. The robot’s 20 servo motors, four more than similar humanoid robots, are directed by FASST 2.4GHz radio signals rather than “TV remote” IR technology. The electronics for its flexible 16-channel operation and a rechargeable, high-capacity, 7.4V Lithium Polymer battery, are located in the torso for easy access. LED “eyes” add to the humanoid appearance and a self-righting function makes sure Futaba’s robot never lays down on the job.

Graphical Motion Editor software :
Modify existing motion sequences or create your own with this very user friendly motion editing software. Change servo positions using the text box, increment/decrement arrows or by manipulation the joints in the 3D rendered view.
