The newest version of the DARwIn Robot is beginning to make the rounds of various tech blogs and trade shows and while the look and feel is pretty impressive, what is really making noise is the software that runs it.
Robotis laboratories, as well as a top researcher from Virginia Tech University has put together this newest robot is running on an open source OS that a user can download and install themselves. Because of this open source programming the newest DARwIn robot is set to cost about half of the Nao robot that is currently on the market. Robotis will sell the robot along for about $8,000 and then the CAD files are publicly available, costing nothing.
The DARwIn Bot is set to be fully unveiled when it makes its appearance at the IEEE-RAS International Conference set to open in just a couple of weeks. Just how well the robot runs on the open source programming will be truly revealed then.
