DARwIn-OP

DARwIn-OP which stands for Dynamic Anthropomorphic Robot with Intelligence–Open Platform is a miniature-humanoid robot platform with advanced computational power, sophisticated sensors, high payload capacity, and dynamic motion ability developed and manufactured by Korean robot manufacturer ROBOTIS[1] in collaboration with Virginia Tech , Purdue University,and University of Pennsylvania. DARwIn-OP is made up of 20 DYNAMIXEL MX-28[2] high-performance networked actuators, with a stall torque of 24kgf.cm (at 12V, 1.5A). This MX-28 has a contactless absolute encoder, 12bit resolution, and 360 degrees operating range with super-durability. The MX-28 looks the same as the RX-28, but if you get inside the details, it is a totally new product.

DARwIn-OP's main purpose is for research and programmers in the fields of humanoid, artificial intelligence, gait algorithm, vision,[3] inverse kinematics, linguistics, etc... [4] It is also supported by $1.2 million NSF grant [5][6] and has been distributed to over 14 institutions already. [5][6]

DARwIn-OP is also the winner of the Kid Size League in the RoboCup 2011 League. [7][8][9][10]
