Kokoro Actroid DER2 Fembot


Kokoro, a Sanrio Group company specializing in the design and manufacture of robots, unveiled its new Actroid DER2 feminine guide robot at Sanrio headquarters in Tokyo on October 4.

Actroid DER2 is an upgraded version of Kokoro’s previous fembot, Actroid DER, who has made quite a name for herself by providing services at a number of events, including the 2005 World Expo. Compared to the previous model, DER2 has thinner arms and a wider repertoire of expressions. The smoothness of her movement has also been improved, making it now even more likely for the uninitiated to confuse her with an actual human being.

Actroid’s limbs, torso and facial expressions are controlled by a system of actuators powered by pneumatic pressure. Once programmed, she is able to choreograph her motions and gestures with her voice.

Parallax has created a couple robot kits that use the BASIC Stamp 2 microcontroller and something called the Board of Education project platform allowing you to create a Boe-Bot Robot and teach it to navigate on its own with touch, light and infrared sensors.

The BOE-Bot is one of the two main robotics kits that Parallax produces to help learn the STAMP II and robotics. "BOE" stands for "Board of Education" because the main electronics area is all pre-soldered with an area to plug the STAMP II chip into.
