Let's build Manoi

Let me discuss this issue. I would to build Manoi (Humanoid Robot). I found the schematics from https://www.botmag.com

Any suggestion or idea.

I guess you should start with a machine shop. You can use a manual mill and a manual lathe to make injection molding tools. Wtih injection molding tools you can crank out the plastic parts in large quantities. The price of having someone else make the injection molding tools will literally knock your socks off.

you should use a powerful microcontroller like the 16 bit MCU or use a microprocessor for the functions of the robot

Vast projects should never be approached with half vast measures. I think a 32 bit ARM 7 would be a good starting point.

@sci-3d ... you find us a source for the plastic parts and proprietary sized motors and gears, and then we'll help with the control electronics

Gee. I thought the idea was to make all that stuff in the picture. Do you think we can buy that stuff? If so, I guess it's not as vast as I thought.

I presumed it was a kit?.

If it's a kit then what's the challenge? This vast project seems to be rapidly shrinking in complexity and scope: possibly a good thing.

I think the cost is servos motors. As I see at least 12 servos are required.

If the cheap one is $20, the total is $240.

And how I can build 12 servos or more control board?

Check the website about it - they aren't just servos, they are specially designed units.

Well if you don't want to use injection moulding just stamped metal plates you could build a robo1. https://www.teamkiss.com/roboone/robo1.html

Thank you William. It is an great info.

The Japanesse Company https://www.kyosho.com/eng/index.html

will sell this Manoi with $1800.
