Hovis Eco And Ezb

Yeah I am not a fan of "naked" robots. I mean there should be some sense of the humanoid there even if there is only a decent torso and head.
It seems like the other bot company's just decided that aesthetics weren't important somewhere along the line.
I would have loved to have seen Sonys Qrio hit the market back in the day. The Darwin Mini looks promising. Depending on its specs that could be a great platform for an ezb.
But other than those along with JD there really hasn't been great looking robots in my opinion. Granted I am in the arts field so I tend to look at designs of things.

the darwin cost way too much and isn finiched on the backside legs. the jd looks cute but there's room for improvement do. the qurio is great robot.i have one as webcam.

You have a Qrio?
In regards to the Darwin they are coming out with a mini version that is supposed to retail for $500.00. It is half the size of the normal Darwin.

a qurio webcam yes. yes a mini darwin whit parts from ollo.the color is not great.

Ohhhh lol. I just watched a video on it this morning... What a great product. Does so much the NAO can do these days but ten years ago. Way to go Sony... Thumbs down

haha when its getting dark the eyes lid up.the nao comes out this year but only for austistic people. what you think off manoi AT-01 silver colored

I really like the Manoi. If it wasn't 3,000 dollars here in the states I would have got one. I told my wife last night I am starting a savings fund for the Nao. When they were released to developers they were $4500. The US Nao distributor said they are also going to be released for retail. He didn't have a time frame as to when but said it was coming.
Only makes sense. They have been working on him since 2007 I believe. At some point a general release simply is good business.
And I will be right up front with money in hand.

same here. manoi
