A walking robot done at the expense of time and money, but the result still remains to be seen. Dubbed the Gigar (what and why on Earth this, no idea), it is a DIY robot that’s been resurrected at a cost of $10,000 and with over 100 hours of labor. The two-foot humanoid is an outcome of such high cost because the designer has used Dynamixels RX-64 and RX-28 units, which come in at $300 and $200 each, respectively. The servos used are expensive, but in context to the other cheaper DIY servos, these can deliver an amazing 1,000 ounces per inch of torque. In addition the tiny little humanoid is integrated with a camera and Wi-Fi and runs on Linux. What is all this used for, hit the jump to see it for yourself in the video.
