You thought the hacked RoboSapien was hard-core? Think again. I wonder if the fact that he's using an iPAQ 3600/3700 series device means anything... :lol:
"I watched a lot of Japanese cartoons when I was a kid so I always wanted to make an android. I saw the Sony SDR-4 around 3 years ago and I knew that it is the time to go for my dream. I know Sony SDR-4 is right in functionality but wrong for pricing. I know that end user need a powerful but acceptable price android. I started with searching the android world. I found that wheel based robots are cheap but not fancy enough. So I decided to go for RC servo based android because it is about $3000 like the price of a new PC."
