Humanoid (coming soon)
Humanoid robot is a small-scale dynamic biped system with two simple arms. The actuators and the robot design are based on the technologies used in Cheetah robots, which have accomplished extremely dynamic motion.

Motion Capture System
To obtain the exact position and orientation of robot, we use motion capture system. The verified estimators by motion capture data are used at outdoor tests.
