01.01.1970 //New robot -android somersaults on the bar.
The small anthropoid robot RB2000, capable, among other, of carrying out gymnastic exercises on the bar, represented two Japanese companies: Vstone and Japan Remote Control. Android with an increase in 30 centimeters weighs only more than kilogram and has 13 mobile articulations. Being subordinated to the panel for remote control and to vocal commands, RB2000 sufficiently rapidly walks and excellently holds equilibrium during the performance of acrobatic it is special effect. For example, robot somersaults through the head, turns "wheel", it demonstrates the "impacts of nindzya", it beats along the ball and so on. It is also necessary to note that RB2000 it sounds: it is converted into the drama- machine, synchronizing the impacts by hands and by legs with the "drum" sounds, and it pronounces the phrases in the Japanese placed in it - all this for androides of this class is uncharacteristic. However, most strongly impress exercises on the cross-beam - androides earlier showed never similar. Although itself RB2000 to be gripped by hands for the bar not can (it is hung up), pulling and revolutions in it are obtained actually healthily (4- minute videotape can be looked on YouTube). Sales in Japan must begin to December. The cost of androide is not thus far declared, it is known only that the new robot will be cheaper than its predecessor, RB1000, prices of which begin with $900.
