This robot is called Premium, the mantis. We made this robot
when we were juniors (third grade). The theme of this robot
is "to play with children".
So this robot is able to play in several ways.
He has 16 D.O.F. and tactile sensors on his head, and an ultra sonic sensor
on his face. There are 3 modes to play: The mode that we can control the robot, using lever and bottuns, the mode playing the game "Acchi muite hoi!!"(which is the Japanese traditional game), and the mode which the robot moves autonomously with sensors. And also, he has lots of charming motions, which make us fun!
