Field notes

The MD-01 is presented as a 25-centimetre, 800-gram biped with 15 degrees of freedom, capable of walking and rolling. The site says skills can be trained in simulation and deployed to the physical robot, with open interfaces for tuning motion and testing behavior. The store separates the robot from an accessory pack, charger pack, and developer pack, and lists the unit for pre-order with a $199 deposit.
