Robotis DARwIn-OP Advanced Humanoid Robot - Unboxing

[looney116]

Ok thank you. I like the Darwin's design, his dark color plastic makes it look good. When I graduate from a university and get a robotics engineer title I want to make this kinds of robots.

Can anyone purchase Darwin or is it just for students and for educational purposes only?

@looney116 Anyone can buy it, but this platform is suited for very advanced users willing to code and develop applications for it. It cannot be regarded as a toy; It is an advanced development platform.

If the get ROS working with this out of the box it might be worth it.

[RobotShopTV]

@TedRobotBuilder DARwIn runs Ubuntu out of the box so it should not be too difficult to get the ROS packages installed. Also, there are already Dynamixel nodes for ROS which should make it easier to work with the servos.

would it be better for the robot to see in QR instead of color?

[RobotShopTV]

@MotherEarthswarrior DARwIn could read QR codes but out-of-the-box, it is only programmed with colour detection.

I hope Nao 1337 won't be jealous
