Hitec Robotics ROBONOVA-I

Hitec Robotics ROBONOVA-I is an exciting new humanoid robot that offers educators, students and robotic hobbyists a complete robot package. The stable ROBONOVA-I can walk, run, do back-flips, cartwheels, dance moves and once programmed, is ready to compete in a variety of robot competitions.

This fully articulating, 12" high, mechanical man is controlled with 16 powerful HSR-8498HB digital servos built specifically for the ROBONOVA-I by Hitec. These custom servos feature "set pin" locking of the servo arms for easy assembly, over-voltage current protection, super strong Karbonite gear trains and "feedback" technology for simple programming.

ROBONOVA-1 really is a "hard case". Specially treated anodized aluminium parts provide the essential strength in the connecting elements, and give the ROBONOVA-1 its characteristic high-quality appearance. The plastic components are made of an extremely high-quality material which provides all the robustness required for daily use.

At the heart of the ROBONOVA-I is a powerful ATMEL ATMega 128 microcontroller with ample reserves of performance. Secured to the back of the robot under a strong plastic case, the controller board can operate up to 24 servos and 16 accessory modules. Optional accessories for future release will include gyros, acceleration sensors, speech synthesis modules and operational devices such as Bluetooth controllers and R/C transmitters and receivers.

Two options are available, as a kit, so you can enjoy building your robot yourself, or as a pre–assembled, “RTW”, “ready to walk” instant gratification robot.
