Are you in need of a cleaning assistant? Get a robot vacuum, chum! Many of these models sweep, vacuum and mop (some can even tidy your place up when you are out for the night!). Best of all they can get at tough to reach spots since they are so low to the ground, ex. under your bed.
Here is a list of models to compare:
The WonderKit division at Kyohritsu have come out with an interesting affordable humanoid robot kit named PetitRobo X.
The new robot has 9 servo motors and takes from 4 to 8 hours to assemble, based on the builders experience level. And, like all the WonderKit products, the price is rock bottom at 29,988 yen (about $262 USD) at stores in Akihabara.
There’s more information on the WonderKit site (if you can read Japanese).
These are my picks for the top inexpensive robots of 2007. You can’t go wrong with any of these but please note that the Robonova and KHR-2HV are the serious robots in the list while the others are more about usability and fun.
Kondo demonstrated the new KHR-2HV humanoid robot at the September, 2006 ROBO-ONE competition. The Kondo KHR-1 robot is excellent, but the KHR-2HV improves upon it with more controls, gears and servos, along with updated software and looks. The 2HV can even do back flips and cartwheels.
